What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is placeholder ("dummy") text used in the design, print, and publishing industries to preview how a layout will look before real content is ready. It's scrambled Latin, derived from a first-century BC text by Cicero, and has been the industry-standard filler text since the 1500s. Because it doesn't resemble readable language, it lets designers and developers focus on layout, typography, and spacing without the distraction of meaningful text.
