If you keep putting money on the table, we will keep it open indefinitely..... :cool:

3040 dollars on the table so far! Well done!

A humbling yet proud moment. I am very thankful to @alfredus who drove this forward, those that donated items, and all of you for bidding.
 
So does the poster, it's a page holder used by graphic designers to showcase fonts. The latin is nonsensical.

Good old loren ipsum! Generate some here if you want too - https://www.lipsum.com/

The Latin is not gobblegook as I thought either it seems -

'Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.'
 
Standard text in InDesign, and other (as mentioned) graphic design software.Not only for checking fonts,but paragraph,column and page to page placement and continuity of text.
