My question is: what is the most correct and clean way to do it?

I do not claim that this is the cleanest way. Probably it's better to define a separate font feature for microtypography rather than overwriting the default set, but this definitely works: \definefontfeature[default][default] [protrusion=quality, expansion=quality] \setupbodyfont[modern] % or whatever \setupalign[hz,hanging] Unfortunately the global alignment settings do not propagate into certain structures. For example itemizations, captions, and bibliographies just reset it and need special treatment: \setupitemize[each][align={hz,hanging}] \setupbtxlist[align={hz,hanging,tolerant}] \setupcaption[figure][align={justified,hz,hanging}] I think captions are not justified by default, so that might or might not matter to you. Bibliographies are usually full or names and academic words that do not hyphenate well, so adding tolerant relaxes that a little bit.
