What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is a form of placeholder text used by designers, typographers, and publishers when developing layouts. It is not actual content but rather a scrambled set of Latin words that create a natural-looking text block. Designers use Lorem Ipsum to fill the space where text will eventually go. Its primary purpose is to help show how text will fit within the overall layout of a design, whether it’s a website, magazine, brochure, or any other type of content.

When you look at a design or template before the real content is available, it often has blocks of Lorem Ipsum in place of actual writing. This helps focus attention on the visual elements, such as the layout, font choices, and spacing, without getting distracted by the actual words. Since Lorem Ipsum doesn’t make sense to the reader, it ensures that the design is judged by its appearance, not by the content of the text.
