What filler text is for

A layout needs text before the real copy exists. Filler text fills the space without anyone reading it, so the design gets judged on its shape rather than on the sentences. Choose paragraphs, sentences or a number of words, depending on whether you are filling an article, a card or a headline.

Why there is a second language

Latin filler has no accents, so a layout that looks fine in lorem ipsum can break the moment real text with accented letters arrives: lines get taller and diacritics collide with the line above. The second mode uses words with accents, which shows that problem while there is still time to fix it.

Frequently asked questions

Where does lorem ipsum come from?

From a mangled passage of Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum, first century BC. Typesetters have used it since the sixteenth century, which is why it looks like Latin without quite being it.

Can I use it on a finished website?

Better not. Filler text left in production is a classic embarrassment, and search engines see a page with no real content. Use it for mock-ups and replace it before launch.

Is the text the same every time?

No, the words are picked at random on each run, so you can generate a new variant with one click. Only the opening “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet” is fixed, and the switch turns it off.
