As I'm sure you know, Sora is also the Yiddish equivalent of Sarah. I doubt that entered into the name's development, but I can't see the word without thinking of my grandmother, whose Yiddish name was Basha Sora.
There's also a charming water bird called the sora (Porzana carolina, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sora_%28bird%29), so it goes well with other birdish names like Zipporah and Jonah and Feigie. (My grandmother was Zipporah, but they're all good names!)
Calibri looks like a 9th generation photocopy, or out-of-focus version of Aptos. "Kerning", in my opinion, became academic with the introduction of phototype 60 years ago.
"Bierstadt" would be a good name for AI-generated photos; most look like florid, cheesy, Romantic 19th Century paintings. Good for movie posters or T-shirts.
Zuo's post is paywalled, which is too bad because I'd be interested to see why he think that Aptos kerning is so terrible. (And to compare it with similar letter arrangements in Calibri, Segoe, and other fonts that Microsoft has introduced over the years.)

I can read the story because I'm a Medium member, but I don't have access to a gift link. Tl;dr he hates the kerning.
Another view. One of many we'll be treated to this month, of course.

Thanks! I like Aptos, too — it’s handsome and legible.
