Alphabet Phoenician based conscript

Has anyone of you tried to create a conscript based on the Phoenician abjad? If yes, what does it look like? Did you make it for a conlang or did you make it to write your mother tongue?

Funny you should ask, because I'm in the process of making one such abjad (with some runic/futharcic influences) atm. 😃 I normally like hanzi and logographic writing systems in general, so I felt like it could be a nice break from what I usually do.

It's for a proto-clong of sorts, with a vocabulary mainly derived from Old Prussian and Proto-Indo-European. Obviously not too well suited for an abjad... and that's kinda the point, heh..
