What are some other fonts that blend serif/sans in the same letters? Dead History is a great example of this, but just wondering if there have been others before or since.
Stefan Hattenbach's New Global, Barry Deck's Traitor, and Joe Kral's Wrongway are sans with slap on serifs.
T-26 unleashed a string of sorry attempts at this theme, such as Equipoize Serif, Andromeda, Amplifier, Regeneration X, Deux, and Missive. But Time In Hell is better.
Dennis Delude's Tex Loose
RXC's Alembic
Max Kisman's FF Fudoni
Christopher Kalscheuer's FF Maverick
Eric Lin's Tema Cantante
Yanek Iontef's Case Sera Sera
Sibylle Schlaich's Styletti
Don't forget Entropy from T-26.
My list includes only typefaces which were constructed/assembled using the forms of existing typefaces (whether actual digital data or redesigned from scratch).
So original designs like Alembic, Equipoize, Rotis, Maverick, Tema Cantante Traitor or Morphica (which I consider different) are not listed.
Please forgive my not providing links. I'm in a hurry, but I wished to share this list. This is a selection of what I considered more interesting, or which appeared first. Many of them are already "historical". I did a lot of these lists while I was collecting information on the digital revolution in typography.
This one was called "Type Surgery"
If you have other examples you consider worthy, I will add them.

Please note that Stephen Farrell's Missive is unique in that selection, since it uses parts of a Garamond, and parts of an earlier beta of Barry Deck's Arbitrary. An historical design collaged with a post-structural, almost contemporary one. It actually does not work so good in text, but the use of classic proportions (the Garamond-like Os) introduced an element of interest.
Once I designed a set of oldstyle numerals for it, although I never used it.
I recall (although memory not always reliable) that FontHaus published a large format magazine a while back with a page that used Missive as a text face, and it looked highly legible, even with, or perhaps because of, the serif on the "o". But perhaps the readability was a result of the inherently virtuous metrics and color of the constituent "parents".
Wasn't it also used in the US for a major credit card campaign?
