Redacted Font
January 10, 2015
When building rough Mockups and Wireframes we normally fill text areas with random Lorem Ipsum Text. While this might work perfectly for us, it can confuse clients. First of all, not everyone gets why there’s strange random latin text all over the place, and second if you use just “any” real font it can lead to discussions about font choices too early in the process when you not even started designing those details.
The Redacted Font was created to solve that problem by obscuring text into unreadable blocks. The project is directly inspired by the BLOKK Font which was around for quite some time. David Walsh wrote more about the Redacted Font including some examples on how to use it etc. so i wont go into the details here.
