About Lorem Ipsum
Lorem ipsum is placeholder text used in graphic design, print, and web development to fill space while a design is being created or reviewed. It resembles Latin but is actually scrambled and nonsensical — derived from a work by Cicero (De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum, written 45 BC), but deliberately garbled so that readers are not distracted by the meaning of the words.
Why use placeholder text?
Using placeholder text rather than actual content during the design phase has several advantages:
- Focus on layout and typography — Readers and clients can evaluate the design without being distracted by the meaning of the words.
- Even distribution — Lorem ipsum text has a natural distribution of letter frequencies that closely mimics real Latin text, so the visual rhythm looks realistic.
- Avoids premature content decisions — Using real content too early often leads to designs that are optimised for specific text lengths rather than flexible layouts.
