Black Ops One is the name of a font freely available from Google as part of their "Google Fonts" series of typefaces. Due to the free nature of the font and the fact that it was created by Google it is highly compatible with modern web browsers and is often included as a selectable option in many content management systems, namely WordPress. Starting in the 2020's the font began seeing more widespread use as its technological and military-esque look made it a popular choice for indie game projects. In 2015, when Black Ops One was a relatively new font however, Draco used it as the font for the header text on his website BattleBots Update. Black Ops One wound up being used throughout the entire lifetime of the project and in BattleBots Update's current state as an online archive it remains in use to this day.
In a 2024 feature of The Coin Game Draco noticed several of the textures in the game used Black Ops One for their lettering prompting him and several of the viewers to refer to it as "the BattleBots Update font". Upon spotting the font once Draco began seeing it used everywhere in the game in all sorts of places turning the act of finding the font into something of a game in and of itself. During a 2024 hangout stream of LiMiT's Room Escape Games the font was once again spotted on the side of a soda machine.
Starting with the 2025 season of Gatorbox Draco redesigned all of the on-screen alerts for things like followers and subscriptions to start displaying in Black Ops One, referencing the ongoing inside joke of spotting it in various places.
