From Wikipedia:

Half-Life is a series of first-person shooter (FPS) games created by Valve. The games combine shooting combat, puzzles and storytelling.

The Half-Life series was given its official website around late 2019 in preparation for Half-Life Alyx. The website uses a minimalistic style using orange as the key color, and that orange is core to the Half-Life brand. It uses FF DIN Black for big text, paired with Bold and Light for smaller text.

It seems to be Half-Life’s main typeface going forward, as Valve has started to use it in more materials. This isn’t Valve’s first dance with a DIN typeface either as they have used it as early as Half-Life 2. Personally, I think it fits the franchise perfectly with how its technical look mirrors Half-Life’s theme of strange science and technology.
