It indicates that it is a variable font -- one with font variations, either Adobe Multiple Masters or TrueType GX variations.

I just copied BAHNSCHRIFT.TTF into my ~/.local/share/fonts, and ran a quick Python script to enumerate available fonts, trying to emulate the Fontconfig calls that Ghostscript is making as closely as possible. In among all the lines of output, there are 5 Bahnschrift entries, all with sensible-looking properties, including weights in the range 50 to 200. Further thought: how old is CentOS 7? I have come across bugs in Fontconfig before, and then been told it was due to having outdated versions in my Debian installation. (I think Debian Unstable is reasonably up-to-date right now...)
