not sure about the brackets, but to add some visual distinctiveness, I
use this:

(setq org-todo-keyword-faces 
 '(("PROJ" :background "blue" :weight bold :box (:line-width 2 :style 
released-button))
   ("TODO" :background "red1" :weight bold :box (:line-width 2 :style 
released-button))
   ("NEXT" :background "red1" :weight bold :box (:line-width 2 :style 
released-button))
   ("STRT" :background "orange" :weight bold :box (:line-width 2 :style 
released-button))
   ("WAIT" :background "yellow" :weight bold :box (:line-width 2 :style 
released-button))
   ("APPT" :background "red1" :weight bold :box (:line-width 2 :style 
released-button))
   ("DONE" :background "forest green" :weight bold :box (:line-width 2 :style 
released-button))
   ("CNCL" :background "lime green" :weight bold :box (:line-width 2 :style 
released-button))
   ))

Great on X, less so on tty.
Give it a try ;).
