here's a page from Hansjörg Mayer's series alphabetenquadratbuch 1 (1964-5), scanned from An Anthology of Concrete Poetry (Something Else Press, 1967). Mayer was a typographic designer & book publisher, as well as a visual poet.
this is esp effective on the screen I think, starting with the small image you can't tell those are letters until you really enlarge. I imagine it's not such a surprise on the page but that it still has good visual impact.
