what is this extrordinary face?

Berthold Gerstner Original. here.
Love it! Was this his only font? I can't seem to find what year he drew it.
See it here as well...
We get to see that font here in portugal everytime we go into the highway. Brisa. Problem is that it works a lot for the logo, but not as an identity font, it rather difficult to read when you are driving fast.
I would also cut the "a" spike, this way it seems more like a recent font
