The Sumerian writing system isn't exactly an alphabet. The technical term is "syllabary", because the symbols stand (mostly) for syllables, not individual sounds. A pair of free fonts representing the state of the cuneiform syllabary at the time of the Third Dynasty of Ur (21st century BC), with roughly 500 separate symbols, has been made available by Guillaume Malingue (see related link below).

However, a true alphabet of cuneiform symbols was developed by the people of Ugarit to write their language, which was related to Hebrew. (Strictly speaking, Ugaritic cuneiform employed an abjad, which is a term for an alphabetic system that lacks vowels.)
