Description
From left to right: a, alpha, k, kappa
Both could use some further "flourishes" to make them more distinct.
- The only apparent difference between and alpha is the tiny curly tail.
- The difference between k and kappa is just an ascender, which is fine in the case of eta versus n (descender). For kappa, it's a little more problematic, because k does not always have an ascender

Research direction
Begin by reviewing the attached comparison image and the examples of Latin a and k versus Greek alpha and kappa. The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point; done would require agreeing on and applying visual distinctions that make both Greek glyphs less like their Latin counterparts.
