That's hard to say at this early stage (the image you see above is an artist's concept), but there are a few clues. At just under 311 miles in diameter, Farout is likely to be a dwarf planet. Its pinkish tint, meanwhile, suggests that it's rich in ice. And based on where it is in the sky, astronomers suspect it has an extremely long orbit (likely over 1,000 years) similar to those of other extremely distant Solar System objects. That could support theories of a giant "Planet X" influencing these smaller celestial bodies.

It could take a long time before you learn much more. It will take a few years to fully understand Farout's orbit due to its distance and slow movement, and a closer observation isn't really in the cards when there are no probes headed its way any time soon. Moreover, it probably won't hold that crown forever. The dwarf planet Sedna is currently 90AU away from the Sun, but its orbit will take it more than 900AU away before it comes back. Think of this more as an illustration of the Solar System's scope -- there's plenty of activity beyond the known planets, even if a lot of it remains elusive.
