About the Six Lorem Ipsum Styles
Classic Lorem Ipsum
The original Lorem Ipsum derives from Cicero's "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (45 BC). The text was scrambled in the 1500s by an unknown printer and has been the industry standard placeholder text ever since. Every web designer and typographer recognizes it immediately. Classic Lorem is the safest choice when sharing mockups with clients who may be distracted by novelty text.
Hipster Ipsum
Hipster Ipsum replaces Latin with trendy lifestyle vocabulary — artisan coffee shops, vinyl records, craft beer, fixed-gear bikes, and farmer's market produce. It became popular around 2012 as a playful protest against the monotony of traditional Lorem Ipsum. Use it for lifestyle brands, food and beverage sites, or any project targeting a millennial or Gen-Z audience.
Bacon Ipsum
Bacon Ipsum fills placeholder paragraphs with meat-related terms: prosciutto, pancetta, tenderloin, kielbasa, and more. It is beloved by developers for its absurd specificity. Baconipsum.com popularized the format in the early 2010s. Use it for restaurant mockups, food delivery apps, or any time you want to make your standup meeting slightly more entertaining.
Pirate Ipsum
Pirate Ipsum replaces Latin with nautical and swashbuckling vocabulary: Davy Jones' locker, the crow's nest, sea shanties, landlubbers, and treasure maps. It adds personality to gaming projects, adventure apps, and any product with a bold or irreverent brand voice. Kids' educational products and game UI mockups are natural fits.
Corporate Ipsum
Corporate Ipsum parodies business jargon by generating realistic-sounding but completely meaningless corporate speak: "leverage synergies," "circle back," "move the needle," "boil the ocean." It is invaluable for mockups of enterprise software, SaaS dashboards, annual reports, and any B2B product where clients expect to see professional-looking content in previews.
Cat Ipsum
Cat Ipsum fills text with feline behaviors, preferences, and personality quirks. References to knocking things off shelves, ignoring owners, demanding food at 3am, and staring at walls for no reason resonate with cat owners worldwide. Use it for pet product mockups, veterinary clinic websites, or any project where a bit of wholesome humor will delight the client.
When to Use Placeholder Text
Placeholder text is used in design systems, wireframes, HTML prototypes, CMS templates, and component libraries. It lets you test typography, line height, column width, and text overflow without needing real content. Using fun alternatives to Classic Lorem can help clients stay engaged during design reviews — instead of trying to read and critique the placeholder text, they focus on the visual design itself.
Tips for Effective Use
When mocking up body text, use 3–5 paragraphs to get a realistic sense of reading flow. For headings and labels, use 3–8 words. For card subtitles or meta descriptions, use 1–2 sentences. Always replace placeholder text before publishing — search engines may penalize pages containing Lorem Ipsum as thin or duplicate content.
