The Fonritians may have inherited the native scripts (or glyphs) of the Artmali and/or Thinokans to some degree. I wouldn't postulate a Doraddi script, if it ever existed, survived after the conquest by the Artmali.

All of these were urban cultures, which suggests some form of record-keeping. If there is a script style similar to the Maya symbols, I would expect it somewhere in Fonrit. (Although likely with scarier characters).

In Umathela the Western script might include a Vadeli version which might do strange and disquieting alterations and aberrations to the usual Western script.
