I've always wanted an excuse to use Keedy Sans and I'm positive I've seen it on a fast food menu, so here you go!

Old timers come to him for coffee
Pretty girls talk to him for rest
Plastic trays and paper plates
All the people here got dates
With the King of the Food Court

I love this cover, but I prefer the one for 'Marvelous Melvan: Pega-donkey Extrordinaire.' But if I saw this in a library I'd definitely pick it up.

I really enjoy that font! I think it's got fast food menu written all over it. Hahaha.

That font is brilliant, as are the colors. :D I love that you used red, because red-- as ou may or may not know-- stimulates appetite. That's why so many food places use it, hah.

Awesome. Keep up the good work!

What a fantastic typeface!

The little unexpected things - what looks like some texturing around the edges, and the dash of graffiti - really make this one. Nice work.

For some odd reason, I keep getting caught up on the lower case 'i'. It looks like a pawn from a chessboard . . . not sure if that was intentional . . . not sure why it captures my attention, but it does. LOL

Intriguing!

I love it! The cover is definitely eye catching. I like the font. Is there a reason you didn't put the author's name on the cover?

The color and lettering match the fast food theme completely. I like it!
