Born at Wakefield, in Yorkshire, August 8th, 1627, and brought up to the trade of a mathematical instrument maker. In 1647 he and James Moxon, possibly a brother, were established in London as printers, for their joint names are found on a broadside entitled Victories obtained … both by land and sea … London. Printed by James Moxon and Joseph Moxon in 1647. In 1654 Joseph Moxon was living at the sign of the Atlas in Cornhill, and in 1659 he added typefounding to his other callings. He issued his first specimen sheet in 1669. His foundry was fitted with a large assortment of type, mostly from Holland, and included a fount of Irish type. His work as a printer was poor, and he is best remembered for his useful treatise on printing and typefounding, which formed the second part of the Mechanick Exercises, and is still a standard work on both these subjects. The date of Joseph Moxon's death is unknown.
