Well, I am not sure fonts are matter of the personal faith
(“Credo in una Helvetica …”, actually that should be probably 
Garamond to be line with J. S. Bach). Or perhaps it is; looking 
at https://www.stormtype.com/families/276/download and 
https://www.stormtype.com/families/376/download is pretty close 
to a religious experience for me. Anyway, what do you mean by 
“kerning subscripts”?

Best,
