Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lorem Ipsum real Latin?
Lorem Ipsum is derived from Latin, but it's not proper Latin text. It's based on "De finibus bonorum et malorum" by Cicero, but words have been altered, added, and removed to create nonsensical text.
When should I use Lorem Ipsum?
Use Lorem Ipsum in early design stages when the actual content isn't ready yet. Once real content is available, replace the placeholder text to see how the design works with actual words.
