## What it is
Redacted is an open-source font family (regular plus script weights) that renders text as solid blocks, replacing Lorem Ipsum in wireframes and mockups. It ships as desktop TTF/OTF fonts and web font kits for use via @font-face.

## Use cases
- replace lorem ipsum in wireframes with realistic-looking placeholder text
- mock up web page layouts without distracting dummy copy
- show clients a design prototype with redacted-looking text
- use placeholder fonts in desktop design tools like Sketch or Figma
- fit realistic text blocks into narrow columns in mockups

## When to choose
- you want an open-source (OFL-1.1) alternative to BLOKK font
- you need both block-style and script-style placeholder fonts in multiple weights
- you want web font kits plus desktop font files in one package

## When to avoid
- you need actual readable dummy copy with real words
- you need a maintained library with recent updates - the last release was 2021
- you need fonts with many weights or variable font support

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, developer-tools
- domain: web-design, web-development, frontend
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: font, wireframing, mockups, placeholder-text, typography, open-font-license, web-server, desktop
