Nice work completing your basic latin set, ETH! If only there was a way to slim the spine of your s without losing its curvaceousness. It is not obvious how to resolve this classic FontStruct conundrum at this scale.
Lowercase t may benefit from a reduction in height, as well as thinning the crossbar and aligning the top of this horizontal to the x-height. W and z are a bit wide and dark – V could lend a foundation for a new W.
@aphoria: Thank you for the suggestions! I've already tried out an s very similar to the 4th one, but it doesn't look right, so I left it on the ß character. I might try the middle one, but I'm not sure...
The completed version of Excalibur! Suggestions welcome.

Carry on!
I know what you mean about the s. And I fixed the W, t and z. Thanks for pointing them out!
Here are a few ideas for the s. Your original is on the left.
Anyone have a vote for which one fits best?
You may consider revising S accordingly; otherwise, I think the last option fits best with the rest of Excalibur so far.
maybe a alternative lowercase g?
