What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text that has been used in the printing and typesetting industry since the 1500s. It is derived from a work by Cicero and has survived as the standard dummy text because it has a natural distribution of letters, making it look like readable English.
Why Use Lorem Ipsum?
- Focus on design: Placeholder text lets designers focus on layout and typography without being distracted by meaningful content.
- Realistic layouts: It fills space naturally, giving a realistic impression of how the final content will look.
- Universal standard: Clients and stakeholders recognize it as a placeholder, preventing confusion during mockup reviews.
