I know there is at least one (maybe several) faces which contain mixed serifs. For example, it might have curved serifs on the acenders & slab serifs on the bases, spurs, etc. any names you could give me would be very helpful. thanks.

Look at Fleischmann derivatives.
Mercury probably has the most variance, with like four kinds of terminals I think.

Dante mixes bracketed, dished serifs at the base of letters with wedge shaped top serifs

I think I'm asking a more simple question. I'm looking for any faces that communicate duality or, old ->new, through a mixing of opposite type elements. So any face that integrates, sans & serifs, or curved and bracketed serifs, or very modern integrated with classical elements. If you have any others that would be great. Thanks.

Oh, you mean grunge stuff, like Fudoni.
I don't think people do that very much any more.

Emgre's Dead History comes to mind, of course:
