Help Putting the title on the Spine with Faux Leather

Desperately seeking advice.

So I have been trying to bind 3 books and finally got to the lest steps where I would put the covers on. However before I do so I would like to put the titles on the spines of the books which are bound in faux leather.

The polyvinyl in question

Y'all I'm at a loss now
I tried using a heat pen with foil transfer but the results leave much to be desired

Silver on Blue and Copper on White
I have no experience with the heat foil so I don't know if this is an issue with the pen, foil, me, or the faux leather.
I did try using Angelus Paint which DOES stick but my hand writing sucks.
I don't have a cricut or know anything about what kind of transfer would be ideal
or where I might be able to custom order precut of such a thing

So yeah any advice? Or tips and tricks? I've tried things like youtube but those all seem to be assuming you have things like a cricut or are using bookcloth.
