It could help to define the style technically. ie. stem widths,
panose (I know for Indic fonts there has not be much research on
panose or maybe its irrelevant for it), x-heights. Also what
proportions to keep wrt. Indic letters vs Latin Upper case and lower
case.

AksharYogini font has latin set in it. You could study that or other
fonts which cover both ranges.
