What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is dummy text used in laying out print, graphic or web designs. It's a placeholder text commonly used to demonstrate the visual effects of different fonts and layouts.

The passage is attributed to an unknown typesetter in the 15th century who is thought to have scrambled parts of Cicero's De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum for use in a type specimen book. It's not just a random collection of words - it's a scrambled passage from a philosophical work in Latin, written in 45 BC by Cicero.

Why use Lorem Ipsum?

• Neutral Text: It doesn't distract from the layout or design elements being showcased.
• Readability: It maintains a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, making it look like readable English.
• Placeholder: It's useful when the final copy is not yet available but you need to visualize the layout.
• Focus on Design: It allows designers to focus on the visual elements without being distracted by meaningful content.
• Universality: It's widely recognized in the design industry, making it a standard go-to for dummy text.
• Various Formats: It can be generated in various formats - paragraphs, words, or bytes - to fit different design needs.
• Testing: It's useful for testing fonts, layouts, and designs across different devices and screen sizes.
