Fixed j, x, and 7. Original j at lc j, original x at lc x, original 7 at ^, and all other alts in the same positions of the original ABBA except alt a, g, n, and u which were not in the original ABBA and are in lc a, lc g, uc n, and lc u respectively, and alt 1 which was moved from ! to ` because of the punctuation.
All Greek alts are their lc’s except alt υ 2, which is in lc ψ.
Cyrillic alts:
Alt а: lc а
Alt д: lc д
Alt д 2: lc е
Alt д 3: lc ж
Alt ж: lc з
Alt л: lc л
Alt л 2: lc м
Alt л 3: lc н
Alt ф: lc ф
Alt х: lc х

I finally made a folded-/ribbon-style design. This one contains a number of experimental techniques. Most notably, the swept parts of glyphs are allowed to extend beyond the letterwidths and sometimes even the baselines. This enhances the sense of movement, creates some interesting linkages, and reduces the need for kerning.
All of these shapes can be constructed with paper or ribbon, although lots of clever folding tricks, doubling, and pinning down/securing with glue would be required.
