It's rare to see logographic con-scripts.

Are those glyphs inspired by the Mesoamerican ones? There's some vague resemblance, and I quite like it.

Yep. Mesomerican scripts and inevitably sitelen sitelen. Also what I'm planning to do is to make this script for the oldest varieties of a language, Archaic Old Koṭärt and stuff, and make it evolve into a syllabary and then abugida I think, as the language itself evolves too.
