On that webpage, does anyone know what font is used for the highlighted sections beside the big yellow quote marks? Tried WhatTheFont but no dice.

It's interesting that the early and recent examples on that page are more representational, but the 1960s/70s images (which I think are the most striking, esp. the Miroljub Todorovic one) are all quite abstract.

Henri Chopin's typewriter poems are a quite interesting example of this sort of thing.
