Main text area — It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point sizes, line lengths, line-spacing, and letter-spacing, and adjusting the space between pairs of letters. The term typography is also applied to the style, arrangement, and appearance of the letters, numbers, and symbols created by the process.

Web typography specifically refers to the use of fonts on the World Wide Web. When HTML was first created, font faces and styles were controlled exclusively by the settings of each web browser. There was no mechanism for individual web pages to control font display until Netscape introduced the font tag in 1995, which was then standardized in the HTML 3.2 specification. However, the font specified by the font tag had to be installed on the user's computer or a fallback font, such as a browser's default sans-serif or serif font, would be used.

The cascading nature of CSS allowed multiple style sheets to influence the presentation of a document, and this led to increased flexibility in web design. CSS introduced the concept of font stacks, allowing designers to specify multiple fonts in order of preference. This meant that if the first font wasn't available, the browser would try the next one, and so on, until it found a font that was installed on the user's system.
