English typographer and mayor This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . Find sources : " Robert Besley " - news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( January 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this message ) Robert Besley ( 1794-1876 ) was an English typographer , creator of the Clarendon typeface in 1845 , and the Lord Mayor of London in 1869 . Career Besley was born in Exeter on 14 October 1794 and began his business life in his father ’s shop where , as an apprentice , he learned the skills of printing . He married Eliza Courtney ( born about 1797 , died 20 September 1876 ) at St James Clerkenwell in 1821 . Besley was taken into partnership by William Thorowgood at the Fann Street Foundry in Fann Street , City of London in 1838 , having been employed as a traveller there since 1826 . He worked with Thorowgood until the latter 's retirement in 1849 . Thorowgood had been the first to use the term " Grotesque " to describe a Sans-Serif typeface and the first to design one in lower case with Seven Line Grotesque . When Besley created Clarendon in October 1845 he had it registered under the recently passed Ornamental Designs Act 1842 , but the typeface became so popular that its rights were soon broken by people creating knock-offs , though Clarendon is still known as the first registered typeface . He retired from the type-founding business in 1861 . Besley was elected to the City of London 's Court of Common Council in 1854 to represent the Ward of Aldersgate where his business was based . In 1861 he was elected as Aldersgate 's Alderman , a role he held until his death . Besley 's Civic career progressed and he was elected as a Sheriff of the City of London in 1863 and Lord Mayor of London in 1869 . Besley also served as Chairman of the Scarborough and Whitby Railway Company and Chairman of Griffin ’s Wharf as well as Governor of the Queen ’s Anne Bounty , set up to support the incomes of poorer church clergy . He died at Victoria Road , Wimbledon Park on 18 December 1876 , and was buried at Battersea cemetery . This drinking fountain was erected in 1878 in memory of ' Robert Besley Esq . Alderman of this ward and Lord Mayor of London , 1869 - 70 ' . The fountain was removed in 1934 , but is memorialised by a Corporation of London Blue Plaque at 107 Aldersgate Street , London , EC1 . Besley is also mentioned on the Foundation Stone of the Guildhall Library and Museum in Basinghall Street , London , EC2 .
