What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is dummy text used in the printing and typesetting industry since the 1500s. It originates from a scrambled passage of Cicero's "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (45 BC). Designers and developers use it as placeholder text to fill layouts before final copy is ready, allowing them to focus on visual design without being distracted by readable content.
When to use placeholder text
Use Lorem Ipsum when building wireframes, mockups, or prototypes where the final content is not yet available. It helps stakeholders evaluate layout, typography, and spacing without reading actual text. Once the real content is ready, simply replace the placeholder.
