Cantoria
This font links to Sophie in that the the typographer used to be a cartographer for a long period of time, and Sophie enjoys travelling to new places and doing new things.
Stone Sans
I found out that Stones font foundry designed some fonts for San Francisco’s public library, it’s given me a difficult decision to make about which font to base the typeface off, as Sophies answer to the question, “what’s your favourite places in the world?”, she answered “San Francisco or Rome”, and given that Sophie has done quite a bit of travelling, it says a lot about her feelings towards San Fransisco.
In the end I have chosen to use Stone Sans as the font to base Sophie's font on because not only does it have all the requirements I wanted in the character of the individual letter forms, but it also has a direct link to one of the questions in which I found out some of the most important information about Sophie, whereas Cantoria doesn't, despite it probably being a more individual font than Stone Sans. That said, some of my experimentation could involve using parts of Cantoria in the development of Stone Sans.
