Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text (filler text) used in the printing and typesetting industry. It has been the industry's standard dummy text since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
Why use Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is used as placeholder text when designing layouts, wireframes, or templates. It allows designers to focus on visual design without being distracted by readable content. Its distribution of letters looks natural, unlike repeating "text here" or "dummy content."
Where does Lorem Ipsum come from?
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor, traced it to a passage in "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero.
