What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is randomly generated nonsensical filler text used to compose paragraphs, headings, and general text for use in editorial, print, and digital designs. In this way, the designer has a preview of how the design is displayed while waiting for the final text of the product under development.
What is the origin of Lorem Ipsum?
It is not known when, where or who first started using Lorem Ipsum, however, it is said that the origin dates back to the 16th century, at the height of the printing industry.
The origin of the text is in Latin and comes from a writing by Cicero from which some words, letters and syllables were removed.
This is the text commonly used:
“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.”
We can conclude that Lorem Ipsum does not have any meaning or sense, however, it derives from the Latin dolorem ipsum, which means "the pain itself".
Why use Lorem Ipsum?
The biggest benefit of using Lorem Ipsum is that it does not distract the designer or user reviewing the design preview prototype, since the filler text cannot be understood and therefore no time is spent reading its content.
Therefore, the creative industry constantly uses Lorem Ipsum to fill spaces with content and diagram the final design as realistic as possible.
What are the most common uses of Lorem Ipsum?
The use of Lorem Ipsum became popular in the 1980s when Adobe PageMaker added it to the software, breaking into the digital world giving way to other uses:

Web design
Currently, the use of Lorem Ipsum is essential to design websites, applications, software interfaces and all kinds of digital projects. Figma, Adobe XD, InVision, Framer, and Marvel are some of the industry's leading interface design, layout, and prototyping software.
