What is Lorem Ipsum?
Definition
Lorem ipsum is dummy placeholder text used in design and typesetting since the 1500s. It is based on scrambled passages from Cicero's 'De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum.' The standard passage begins 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit...'
Why It Matters
Lorem ipsum fills layouts with realistic-looking text during the design phase, letting designers focus on visual layout without being distracted by readable content. It is used in wireframes, mockups, and templates across the design industry.
