Looking for input on a cover

I like the St Charles one. The Arkham one is not clear and the n looks like a d so would not use that font.
I like the 6FT Carolingia for sure. It's easy to read and also looks like it fits well with the cover.
For some reason, I don't like when the As and Es are not both either upper- or lowercase, so my vote goes to anything after the first row. Beyond that, I think it's a personal preference and I don't think you'll go wrong :)
I liked the MAEL font. It was thinner and taller with somewhat of a flourish at the letter tips. The others were too squatty and bold for my tastes.
For what it's worth I liked the 5FT Matura best since the lettering, especially the T in Trail seemed to convey the movement & speed of the camels better. The more curly T's interrupted the action of the illustration. But that's just me.










FONT works best.
If you'd care to take a look and let me know your preference, I'd appreciate it! The thumbnails are rough as the cover is just at the mock-up stage:

I need the font to be LEGIBLE (you can understand what the title is), and I'd also like to know which one GRABS you the most. The reason I'm displaying thumbnails is because people will see the thumbnail first when they're on Amazon, B&N, etc. - so it has to be something that works in a small size. Make sure you're viewing the .pdf at 100%
(oh, and sometimes pdfs don't display in Safari, so if you encounter that problem, you may have to try another browser)
Thank you so much!!!
