History of Mussolina
Mussolina is italian for Muslin - an ancient expensive cloth. There was a saying, you can put 50 meter muslin fabric within a match box. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Mughal Bengal emerged as the foremost muslin exporter in the world, with Mughal Dhaka as capital of the worldwide muslin trade. Traders came from all directions to Sonargaon in Dhaka for Muslin. Although this view has the fabric named after the city where Europeans first encountered it (Mosul), the fabric is believed to have originated in Dhakeshwari, now called Dhaka, which is now the capital of Bangladesh.
During British colonial rule in the eighteenth century, the Bengali muslin industry was ruthlessly suppressed by various colonial policies which favored imports of industrially manufactured textiles from Britain. Brutality to muslin weavers was intense, William Bolts noting in 1772 that "instances have been known of their cutting off their thumbs to prevent their being forced to wind silk." As a result, the quality of muslin suffered greatly and its finesse was nearly lost for two centuries. Mussolina font illustrates that heritage, time and direction within its visual styles.
