FYI, "fat tire" generally refers to tires that are at least 3.75in wide. Your bike doesn't quite qualify for that :) That bike looks nice! I am in the process

That bike looks nice! I am in the process of building a similar looking gravel bike, but with a titanium frame instead of steel.
Interestingly, gravel bikes are now starting to have suspension, such as the Cannondale Topstone Lefty and Lauf True Grit. The line between gravel bikes and mountain bikes is getting more and more blurred.
