Scott is correct.
This was designed primarily with Wikimedia readers in mind, but this is extremely minimal stylistically. The typography has no loud personality that is so unique to Wikimedia sites that it that prevents or discourages use by someone say, installing a new MediaWiki instance. In the past, we've discussed the idea of providing either a specific Wikimedia skin or a general MediaWiki skin we don't use at WMF. The discussion about that is at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51912
