Text alignment similar to Adobe Express "magic"?

After Effects learner here. I am still experimenting with the various text options and don't know if this is possible or easy. Maybe I just missed the button somewhere? I like the magic text alignment in Adobe Express (see example below). It justifies the text and adjust font height/size per line so that it justifies stylishly. Is there a way to automatically align text this way in After Effects?. That way I can use text animation presets on text with this alignment. I realize I could do it manually with separate text boxes, but aside from it taking much longer, it would also be difficult (I think? maybe?) to animate all the text as one unit. Is this possible, and if so, how? Thanks!

 

Example of the text alignment I like:

You can easily animate such stuff as one block by simply pre-composing it. Otherwise AE has no such function built-in functions and there will always be limitations in creating and editing it. Scripts like TypeMonkey (and possibly other "Monkey" scripts) can help if you care to spend the cash:

Otherwise indeed you'll have to set up the text manually and apply whatever presets, text animators and so on individually and adjust their timing to create the illusion. Easy enough to do for your eleven lines of text, but of course it could turn into quite a bit of work if you need to do it often and for lots of text.
