Open →What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text – meaningless dummy copy used to fill a layout so designers can judge typography, spacing and hierarchy without being distracted by readable content. Because the words are scrambled Latin, the eye reads them as texture rather than meaning.
It is not random gibberish, though: the text descends from De finibus bonorum et malorum, a treatise written by the Roman statesman Cicero in 45 BC. A 16th-century printer scrambled a passage of it into a type specimen, and centuries later Letraset sheets and desktop-publishing software spread it to every design tool.
