I am also a but newbie but I think that's a symbol Is it actually #
DefaultTextStyle ?

If true, yes, it would probably be a symbol. A symbol, as Squeak By Example
says is:

"
Symbols are like Strings, in that they contain a sequence of characters.
    However, unlike a string, a literal symbol is guaranteed to be globally
    unique. There is only one Symbol object #Hello but there may be
    multiple String objects with the value 'Hello'.
"

See SBE for more documentation.

However, if there is something that it is not a class neither a class
variable, it can be a global variable. For example, do a expect it of
Smalltalk. You may think Smalltalk is a class, but it doesn't. It is global
variable. Indeed it is an object of SystemDirectory.

Cheers,

Mariano
