What Lorem Ipsum is and why it exists
Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text used in design and development to simulate how a layout will look with real content, without a readable text competing for the attention of whoever is evaluating the visual composition. It comes from a Latin passage by Cicero ("De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum", 45 BC), altered over the centuries into the standard text anyone in the field recognizes instantly today.
Frequently asked questions
Because the words from Cicero's original passage were altered and scrambled over time, specifically to remove any readable meaning — the goal is for nobody to pay attention to the text's content, only to the layout around it.
Because it reproduces the normal letter and word-length distribution of Latin/Western languages, so it fills a layout with a real-text-like appearance — unlike repeating "text text text", which draws attention to itself instead of letting the eye evaluate the composition.
It isn't recommended. Lorem Ipsum exists for preview during design/development — before publishing, always replace it with real content, since placeholder text visible to the end user reads as an oversight.
From a passage of "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum", a philosophical treatise by Cicero written in 45 BC — used by the printing industry as placeholder text since at least the 1500s.
