Frequently asked questions

Where does lorem ipsum come from?

It is scrambled Latin from Cicero's De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum, written in 45 BC. Typesetters have used it since the 1500s because text that is nearly-but-not-quite readable lets people judge layout without being distracted by the content.

Why not just use real text?

Because reviewers read it. Placeholder text keeps attention on spacing, hierarchy and rhythm. The counterargument is that lorem ipsum hides how real content behaves, so it is worth testing with realistic copy before you ship.
