Passport cover worn

I’m due to fly to the Dominican Republic next month and I’m a bit concerned about my passport (UK). The gold writing on the front cover has near enough disappeared.

Has anyone else flown with a passport in a similar state? Will it be an issue or am I just overthinking? The inside of my passport is completely fine and the chip still works.

Thanks in advance.
