Five centuries later Lorem Ipsum experienced a surge in popularity with the release of Letraset’s dry-transfer sheets. These sheets of lettering could be rubbed on anywhere and were quickly adopted by graphic artists, printers, architects, and advertisers for their professional look and ease of use.
