A SENTENCE THAT USES EVERY LETTER OF THE ALPHABET AT LEAST ONCE.
Pangrams aren’t just a linguistic flex, they’re a typographic tool. Designers use them to test how a typeface handles every letter in the alphabet, all in one go.
The most famous pangram? “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” First seen in the late 1800s, it became a typewriter test sentence and later a staple for font previews and system checks.
But it’s not the only one. Some pangrams aim for brevity (“Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs”), while others go for flair.
For typographers, it’s less about grammar and more about how every glyph holds up, from Q to Z.
