Fann Street Foundry : ウィキペディア英語版 | Fann Street Foundry
The Fann Street Foundry was a type foundry (a company that designs or distributes typefaces) that was located on Fann Street, City of London. ==Establishment== In 1794, Robert Thorne (1754-1820) acquired the type foundry of the late Thomas Cottrell based in Nevil's Court, and moved it to 11 Barbican, and then in 1802 to a former brewery in Fann Street, and renamed it the Fann Street Foundry. On his death in 1820, the business was bought by William Thorowgood with the help of money he had won in a lottery.〔 Thorowgood was the first to use the term "Grotesque" to describe a Sans-Serif typeface and the first to design one in lower case with his ''Seven Line Grotesque''.〔(The First Sans Serif ) ''Graphic Design History'', 2011. Retrieved 16 July 2014.〕
