It looks beautiful!

Being a "small caps" version of the capital letters, that's OK. However,
I think that your sigma can be improved a bit: the top and bottom lines
should be straight, or slightly curving outwards, and the angle should
be more prominent. It should look more like a rotated M.

I loved your ksi, which you've probably drawn from scratch, though I
think that the lines are too thin to match the other letters in the
font. Perhaps it would be a better match if you based the letter on the
horizontal lines from F. (Which, along with Barks' E and M, also shows
that Barks wouldn't have made the middle line so short.)

It looks great, though the same comments apply as for ksi.

Thank YOU!
