Be nice to see an example.
Older "lead type" serif faces would be like Goudy Old Style, any Caslon, Garamond, Cheltenham.... long list...
What I'm looking for is a type style (an alphabet) where the caracters look like lead-printing types, e.g. they are laterally reversed, like reading the matter in the composing stick.

@Bent: Depending on how you hold the composing stick, you mean right to left, mirrored or left to right flipped?
which looks like old lead type setting ?
Once I saw such a (True Type ?)-font on a hompage from some foundry - but I've forgotten where.
