The NBC Chimes Museum

The NBC Chimes Museum is a research website by Michael Shoshani devoted to the history of NBC’s three-note radio signature and the dinner chimes that preceded it. The site brings together historical recordings, photographs, advertisements, correspondence and technical material tracing the chimes through early broadcasting and their later mechanical and recorded forms.

Shoshani also documents the site’s typography in its acknowledgements, detailing the role of each typeface. Store Norske Litteratur from Skriftkompani is used for body copy, titles and subtitles, News Gothic Condensed for image and audio captions, and Cheltenham Condensed for blockquotes and navigation. Remington Deluxe Typewriter 1938 appears on correspondence pages, while the header combines ITC Cheltenham Handtooled with Industrial Arts JNL. A Caslon 540 Italic ampersand is used as an additional detail.
