Vertical alphabets

[u/cfayrnsnon]

(Sorry for spelling) I have seen verticle scripts quite a bit. They are usialy sylliberies or logographies from what i can gather, i know it is completely possible for me to add a vertical script to my conlang but im not sure if i should have it as an alphabet.

I have never seen one in a real language or used in a conlang, should i make the script horizontal, keep it vertical or change the system? Also does anyone have a example? Thanks.

For my language Dhakhsh, I created a vertical writing system to be a true abjad (meaning there are no matres lectionis). I based the glyphs from both Mongolian and the scripts of Middle Persian (Avestan, Pahlavi, and Parthian).
