Mainly lighter. Comfort trumps aesthetics. Not thought about wider but maybe that could add comfort.

Have you checked numbers for the relative weight? The aluminium bars are already pretty light. I can't imagine there's much saving to be had if you're replacing like with like.
People gleefully claiming carbon parts will kill or injure you are best muted.

If you want lighter then you’re probably best to look at other areas of the Brompton.
From experience, seatpost, saddle, tyres and pedals will make a huge difference.

What’s your end goal btw? To make the Brompton lighter, wider or comfort?
