Redacted and Redacted Script are suitable for wireframing and rapid prototyping. Designed to be unreadable, it keeps your wireframes free of distracting Lorem Ipsum or other dummy text.

Give your simulated text a realistic look while making it easy to add copy later on with Dan Ross’s Flow Fonts and Christian Naths’s Redacted.
Showing text in an early-stage wireframe can be distracting, even if it’s just Lorem ipsum placeholder copy. After all, a successful wireframe is clean and simple, with just enough information to communicate an idea. But how do you convey “this is text” without showing text?
One popular technique is to draw shapes that resemble a block of redacted text. (Redacted text is usually used as a security or privacy measure in a document to make certain words unreadable.)
Another technique is to use handwritten scribbles. This creates a sketch-like look that’s especially suited to quick concepting.
