It has a bit of stroke contrast, which is less typical of popular sans-serif fonts. Optima was a popular example of this in the 90s. It has a pretty tall x-height too which is probably made with "small print of logo at bottom of ~shampoo~ pill bottle" in mind; it helps mitigate the problem the mark being much wider than it is tall. But your reply is why I said what I said originally - I see those differences, crazygringo sees those differences, but I'm sure most people don't.
