Lorem Ipsum is a dummy text used by graphic designers to showcase how written content and its chosen typography will display in a given composition.
The Lorem Ipsum filler means nothing, thus achieving a double purpose:
- typographic: good word density, letter variety and distribution
- semantic: without meaning to relate to, reviewers only focus on the presented layout
Lorem Ipsum is really used to demonstrate how large portions of text will render in a composition. If the intention is rather to check how every possible letter (in the English language) would display in a given font, the pangram “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” will be used instead.
