About Just like heaven font

Looking for the Olivia Rodrigo/OR3 typeface?


This isn’t it. My original Just Like Heaven font is a handmade display face inspired by The Cure. Same name. Completely different font.


Just Like Heaven Font
is a bold, handmade brush display typeface created for designers who prefer character over perfection. Its irregular letterforms, changing widths and playful proportions give posters, branding and packaging a distinctly English eccentricity.

Just Like Heaven doesn’t play by the rules. Each letter has an expressive, hand-painted appearance, helping headlines and display text feel spontaneous rather than overly polished or mechanical.

What makes Just Like Heaven Font different?

Varying letter widths, heights and shapes give this brush font its energetic, offbeat personality. It’s deliberately imperfect, making it ideal for creative projects that need something more distinctive than a conventional script or brush typeface.

A brush font inspired by The Cure

Just Like Heaven Font takes its name from The Cure’s timeless song of the same name. It was released in 1987, when the band’s music was becoming part of the soundtrack to my art-school years.

That influence can be seen in the font’s combination of dreamy elegance, artistic energy and slightly rebellious character.

Four OpenType alternates for every letter

Just Like Heaven Font includes four alternate versions of every uppercase and lowercase letter. Its OpenType features automatically cycle through these alternatives, helping repeated letters appear more natural and giving words a hand-rendered, unpredictable quality.

The alternate characters can be used in OpenType-compatible design applications including Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.

Where to use Just Like Heaven Font

This handmade display font works particularly well for:

  • Posters and gig artwork
  • Album covers and music graphics
  • Editorial headlines
  • Logos and expressive branding
  • Packaging and labels
  • Social-media graphics
  • Apparel and merchandise designs

If Just Like Heaven Font were a celebrity

It would be Robert Smith from The Cure: artistically expressive, dreamily elegant and just eccentric enough to remain completely unforgettable.

Choose Just Like Heaven Font when your design needs a handmade brush typeface with movement, personality and plenty of beautifully controlled chaos.

Frequently asked questions

After you've unzipped your font files, you'll find either .OTF or .TTF files. Installing a font is easy – simply double-click on the OTF or TTF file. If you need more guidance, feel free to explore our Font FAQ.

And if you're still facing any challenges with the font installation, don't hesitate to reach out to me I'm here to help.

On PC: To extract a single file or folder, simply double-click the compressed folder and then drag the desired item from the compressed folder to your preferred location. To extract the entire contents of the compressed folder, right-click on the folder, choose 'Extract All,' and follow the prompts.

On Mac: Double-click the .zip file, and then locate the product folder or file you're looking for.

If you're still having trouble, please refer to this helpful guide for PC and this guide for Mac.

Once a font is installed on your computer, it becomes compatible with any software that allows text creation. You can seamlessly use these fonts in popular applications such as Microsoft Office, Adobe software, and virtually any program equipped with a text editor.

Please note: OpenType SVG fonts, also known as color fonts, require specific software versions, including Photoshop CC 18.0+, Illustrator CC 22.0.0+, or InDesign CC 13.0.1+. If you're interested in installing colour fonts, my colour Font guide provides more information.

Every font is .OTF for desktop but variable font may add additional .TTF.

Open the Glyphs or OpenType panel in your design software. In Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, select your text and choose Window → Type → Glyphs to view and insert alternative characters. Ligatures and stylistic sets can be enabled through the OpenType panel. In Affinity apps, use the Typography panel. OpenType support varies between applications, so some features may not be available in simpler design programs.

Yes. The Desktop Licence covers creating logos, brand identities, packaging and other static designs. You may supply finished or outlined artwork to a client, but you cannot pass on the font files. Anyone who needs to install or work with the font must have their own licence.

The font remains non-exclusive, so other customers may also use it. If you need something unique to your brand, contact me about a modified or fully custom typeface.

Because fonts are digital products, purchases are generally non-refundable once the files have been downloaded. If a file is faulty, you accidentally purchased the same font twice or you need help with installation, please contact me and I’ll help resolve the issue.

If you have any problems with the font, please contact me through the website and I’ll be happy to help. Include the font name, your order number, the software and operating system you are using, and a screenshot if possible. This will help me identify the problem more quickly.

If the font is an OpenType SVG bitmap it preserves detailed textures, transparency and natural variations that ordinary vector fonts cannot. However, they are not supported by every application and may not work correctly in older software, Canva, Microsoft Office or some web-based design tools.

Because the letters contain high-resolution bitmap artwork, they cannot be enlarged indefinitely without eventually showing pixelation. Recolouring and converting text to outlines may also be limited. For the best results, use a recent version of Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign and create your artwork close to its final output size.
