What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text used in graphic design, web development, and typesetting since the 1500s. It originates from Cicero's "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (45 BC), deliberately scrambled so the text does not distract from the visual layout being evaluated.
The standard passage begins "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit…" and has been the industry-standard placeholder for over five centuries, from manual typesetting to modern design software.
