📖 What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text commonly used in the graphic design, printing, and publishing industries to demonstrate the visual form of a document or typeface without relying on meaningful content.

The text has been the industry's standard dummy text since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

Lorem Ipsum is derived from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. The text has been modified and corrupted over the centuries, making it nonsensical Latin.

📚 Lorem Ipsum History & Origin

The Lorem Ipsum text is derived from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of Cicero's "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil), written in 45 BC.

The original Latin text reads: "Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit..." which translates to "There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain..."

The popularized form "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..." is a corrupted version that emerged during the printing industry's development. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, discovered the undoubtable source by researching the classical literature.

The text became widely used in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
