Is Lorem Ipsum the Only Placeholder Text?

Lorem Ipsum is by far the most commonly used placeholder text, but it’s not the only one. Over time, designers and developers have experimented with other ways to simulate text for layouts. For example, “Greeked text” is a term used to describe any kind of placeholder text, even if it’s not based on Latin. It’s essentially any non-readable text that’s used to fill in space.

Some designers even use real language text, such as from Wikipedia articles or other sources, if they want the text to be more meaningful in their mockups. However, using real language has the drawback of potentially distracting from the design itself, which is why Lorem Ipsum is still preferred for many projects.
