I'm also attaching a .pdf from Modular Infotech - a company that has digitized many fonts for use in native language text-editing and publishing software. Not all of these are widely accepted or used, but it might spark your imagination and make you feel less timid about altering proportions and changing elements.
I don't mean this in a negative tone at all! I think it's rather an exciting time in the history of Indic type design, and we are lucky to be among the first people making web fonts for this script! I hope we can make some great work!!!!

It is not incorrect to design typefaces that match/or are based on Latin typefaces1. But the authenticity of individual scripts needs to be maintained. It is important to adapt the essence of the typeface from one script to the other rather than just the outer appearance.
Looking at the existing situation in the field of type design in India, one realizes that the Devanagari script needs new exploration and fresh ideas. One needs to look at Devanagari type design independently and not as secondary to Latin type design.
