i drilled the PVN on this one a while ago and for the square forms (unlike Zapata) the best i ever came up with was this distressed font:
- ldww0
that is hot shit.
Zapata is not square enough.
i would buy that font if it existed.

Looks like someone started with Rodeo, and altered the shiteness.

It's based on an old metal/wood type called Hellenic Wide. There are many digital interpretations of this, none of which will match the Mohawk logo perfectly.
