An airfoil can be sheared off near the trailing edge and still be lower drag than you might think. Like the shape of my Honda CRX or the Prius. So maybe an airfoil that is blunt on both the leading and trailing edges with a little rounding of the corners would lift in both directions.

I think this applies to body shapes like cars, may not apply to wing sections.
