The Hinglish project is an effort to make Hindi characters a bit more accessible to english speakers.

Despite the superficial distinctiveness of English and Hindi, the two borrow from the same phonetic pool – they both belong to the Indo-European group of languages. This font design playfully highlights these commonalities.
