We examine physical aspects for the electric version of a recently proposed logarithmic electrodynamics, for which the electric field of a point-like charge is finite at the origin. It is shown that this electrodynamics displays the vacuum birefringence phenomenon in the presence of external magnetic field. Afterwards we compute the lowest-order modification to the interaction energy by means of the gauge-invariant but path-dependent variables formalism. These are shown to result in a long-range ($1/r^3$-type) correction, in addition to a linear and another logarithmic correction, to the Coulomb potential.
