All I had to do was go through my list of fonts looking for a warm typeface, naturally ending up with Jos Buivenga’s mouth-watering Fontin, and then obsess a bit over the placement and colouring of the words. The result is quite striking:

A great picture and a great typeface: nothing else needs be added.
