Dear Krishnaprasad Ji,

     Your fonts are looking more and more beautiful.  You have to make choices as you go along.  Consistency should be one principle.  The traditional writing is with a pen-tip with a 45 degree angle.  That angle needs to show up in all characters.  So the end of द showing up a rounded end does not fit within this consistency.  With a 45 degree angle of the tip, one cannot draw a rounded end.  The same thing with signs like े ै ो ौ where the 45 degree angle should show up, and not rounded tops.  I am giving these suggestions following some of the principles I followed in designing my own Madhushree font.  Since my font is not unicode compliant, I no longer use it.  I can no longer type using that font either.  For some reason, my Mac does not allow it.  Here is a sample from my Saṃskr̥tasubodhinī:

I also prefer the top line without gaps.  With best wishes for your project.

Dear all
Considering the suggestion of Prof Tim Cahill,  Prof Raik  Prof Madhav Deshpande and Prof Wujastak tried some alterations.  But the real challenge is, there is more than one design of each character, for instance, there are 4 types of letter द, at least two types of e matra, the below image shows two types of च्छ.

also, I will try the i matra, probably 4 types required like in the below image
