What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is the standard placeholder text used by designers and developers since the 1500s. Derived from Cicero's philosophical work "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (45 BC), it provides a natural-looking Latin text distribution for layout testing.
The famous passage begins with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit..." and has been the industry standard since Letraset sheets in the 1960s and desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker in the 1980s.
