Vincent Figgins (1766 – 29 February 1844) was a British typefounder based in London. After an apprenticeship with Joseph Jackson, he established his own type foundry in 1792. His company was extremely successful and, with its range of modern serif faces and display typefaces, had a strong influence on the styles of British printing in the nineteenth century. Figgins introduced or popularised both slab-serif and sans-serif typefaces, now two of the main genres of typeface.
