40edo is the equal division of the octave into 40 parts of exactly 30 cents each. Up to this point, all the multiples of 5 have had the 720 cent blackwood 5th as their best approximation of 3/2. 35edo combined the small circles of blackwood and whitewood 5ths, almost equally far from just, requiring you to use both to reach all keys. 40edo adds a diatonic 5th that's closer to just. However, it is still the second flattest diatonic 5th, only exceeded by 47edo in error, which results in it being inconsistent in the 5-limit - combining the best major and minor third will result in the blackwood 5th instead. As such, calling it a perfect 5th seems very much a misnomer. Despite all keys being reachable by stacking this 5th, it does not qualify as meantone either, as stacking 4 of them results in a near perfect tridecimal neutral third rather than a major one. The resulting 5L 2s scale has large steps of 6 intervals and small ones of 5, putting sharps and flats right next to letters without any ups or downs in between and requiring a lot of them to notate more distant keys. It tempers out 648/625 in the 5-limit; 225/224 and in the 7-limit; 99/98, 121/120 and 176/175 in the 11-limit; and 66/65 in the 13-limit.

40edo is more accurate on the 2.9.5.21.33.13.51.19 2*40 subgroup, where it offers the same tuning as 80edo, and tempers out the same commas. It is also the first equal temperament to approximate both the 23rd and 19th harmonic, by tempering out the 9 cent comma to 4-edo, with 10 divisions therein.
