I slightly changed the graces of the "straight" letters (|i|, |l| etc.) and redesigned those of the curved letters (|C|, |c|, |s| etc,).
I changed the form of several glyphs (|a|, |g|, |V| etc.).
I adequated the Cyrillic stems to other ones and changed the metrics slightly.
Furthermore, I have made a test here using the Grecs du roi (on which I still have to make several interventions).
Finally, I still have to round some corners: but this is a detail that I will be able to realize as soon as I have reached the final shape of the glyphs.
As in the previous tread, I specify that there is yet no kerning or correction of the positioning of the diacritics, which I will do as soon as the definitive shape of the glyphs is established.
I look forward to your evaluations.
Thank you!

Why aren't you showing the italic? Also, it might be time to start developing a bold
Good luck!
Note, I don't take 'preserving the original' in account, just comment on what I see.
Unless you really have to preserve it in its original form (if it comes from the orginal?) consider remaking the /a/ completely.
I am sure that a 'proper' /a/ will improve the image dramatically. Note the structure. Currently it is strangely distorted. If you don't mind lets have an experiment - try this /a/ and see the specimen compared:
Caps
/E/ - the middle stem serif is too big and the stem itself too thin. Upper right serif looks weird, add some flesh in the fold area.
First off, simply scaling down the caps to achieve lowercase will not work in general.
Major thing I have noticed:
/ж/ : You made it virtually an asterisk. Start over from a proportion of a copy-reflected /к/.
Reduce the serifs of the middle stroke and make it thinner. Then see how to reduce the weight and width but just a little.
/л/ : increase the angle and move the join lower, add some flesh on the apex. Optical gaps on the sides can be regulated by bearings and kerning later - overlapping letters is better than disfigured shape.
/д/ : I dislike the triangular /д/ in general, IMO any rectangular /д/ will work and look better. I see you have it as an alternative, but it is too narrow. It is ok for the capital /Д/ but not ok for the lowercase.
/ю/ : can be extended a little bit just by moving apart the stick and o.
Overall I see some weight inconsistence among some letters but maybe leave for later.
Thanks for the precise observations.
As for |E|, I also check the print result of the middle stem.
You add to the conclusion: «Overall I see some weight inconsistence among some letters but maybe leave for later». I would be very happy if if you wanted to at least hint at these "inconsistencies" that you detect.
Thanks again for your availability
to be precise - /a/ looks bolder, in latin too, but in cyrillic it is more noticable. /p/'s bowl looks a bit too bold but I would not say it really needs corrections. /ec/ just very little but maybe I am hallunicating, sit too much by the monitor these days
My eye catches on the left bottom quadrant of /g. At first I thought the issue was with the link, but it might just be that the left side of the bottom bowl carries too much weight.
Your /Psi has similar crowding at the top between top of arms and serifs. There too the serifs could be fudged in—or what about a structure where the arms head outwards at the top? I do think your current curved part of /Psi is much more lyrical and soft than any of your other Greek caps.
