Why scrambled text? That’s exactly the point. By using text that’s unreadable but maintains the general pattern of regular writing — including normal word length, spacing, and punctuation — designers can focus on the visual elements of a layout without the actual content getting in the way. The pseudo-Latin appearance gives it a natural feel while ensuring it won’t distract from the design itself.
