I used to have a hat with the embroidered letters 'MTL' for Montreal on it. It was given to me by Montreal's city marketing initiative trying to attract international students called 'Je choisis Montréal' (I choose Montreal). This initiative does not exist anymore since a few months, their website is still online but nearly empty.

I now try to find the font used for the letters on my hat. A name would be fantastic, it doesn't matter if it's a free font or not. I have attached images that were created from photos of me wearing the hat, with the only modifications being a colour reduction and contrast improvement. Still, automated tools for font identification seem to struggle, probably because of the distorted perspective. I further found an image on another website (scroll down) that has the letters 'MTL' in a very similar font except for the stencil-style gaps that exist on my hat, but not in the linked image.

Thank you in advance for any hint you can give!

I can only find similar—but not identical—typefaces.

As you already mentioned above, it is very similar to the Montréal International logo, and I suspect it is a custom stencil version of that.

Thank you! At least I don't have to search for it any longer then.
