Analyze: The type above is a sans serif and all uppercase letters. The ends of the letters are rounded rather than straight-edged or pointed. The crossbar of the "A" is lower than the crossbar of the "H" creating a long, narrow, counter in the "A". The strokes in the typeface are all uniform instead of there being contrast between thick and thin. The characters are tall and thin, and the spacing between the letters is thin as well, lending itself even more to the narrowness of the typeface.
Classify: Display, Sans Serif, Transitional, Uppercase
Define: Due to the fact that the type is all uppercase and sans serif, to me the type face looks very serious and like it means business. It seems to me that, normally, rounded ends on a typeface would convey playfulness, but here, the type still seems authoritative.
Comment: This typeface is part of an address on a building downtown, but I am not sure which offices are housed in this building. This typeface does not appeal to me as much as some others because it seems serious and not at all friendly. However, I do think it communicates that there are professional offices inside of the building.
I don't see this as transitional. It looks like the stroke is pretty consistent throughout. I would take off the transitional part of the classification.
