Palette extracted from real PS.edu CSS
Frequencies in parentheses come from grepping siteground-optimizer-combined-css-f0140fc8.... Orange dominates as the institutional accent; navy is the anchor; the warm putty is the “old library” surface.
02 · Typography
Fraunces (display) + EB Garamond (serif body) + Inter (UI)
Original PS uses Adobe Typekit’s ivypresto-display and le-monde-livre-std (paid). Free Google substitutes used here: Fraunces for display and EB Garamond for serif body — closest analogs that preserve the high-contrast didone display tone and humanist book-serif reading texture.
Scholarship with a Shepherd’s Heart.
A seminary for the church.
Train deeply. Serve faithfully.
Master of Divinity
Academic Programs
For nearly forty years, Phoenix Seminary has trained men and women for the local church through rigorous biblical scholarship paired with a shepherd’s heart for the people of God.
The seminary was founded in 1988 by a group of pastors who shared a conviction that scholarship and pastoral care belong together — that a faithful pastor is also a careful student of Scripture, and that a careful student of Scripture is most fully formed in the company of the local church.
Inter handles UI text — navigation, captions, chips, button labels, eyebrows, and form fields. It steps out of the way so the serifs can carry the editorial voice.

Real PS-CDN photos — Sonoran light, candid, uncropped
Uncropped, full-bleed, no filters. A single subtle navy-to-transparent scrim at the bottom of hero photos for type legibility — never a full overlay. Photos are presented as photographs, not as backgrounds for type.
08 · Logo
Heraldic shield — solo or with wordmark
The shield is the institutional anchor — use solo in tight spaces (favicons, social, app tiles, badges) and pair with the wordmark in nav and footer.
