Frequently Asked Questions
What is the origin of Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of 'de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum' by Cicero, written in 45 BC. It was first used in typesetting in the 1960s.
Why use Lorem Ipsum instead of real text?
Lorem Ipsum prevents readers from focusing on content instead of design. Real text can bias perceptions of a design, while Lorem Ipsum keeps focus on layout and visual elements.
Is Lorem Ipsum actually Latin?
It's based on Latin but is scrambled and doesn't make grammatical sense. The words are mostly from Cicero's work, but they've been altered and rearranged nonsensically.
