its hard to show without a cross section of the frame... it is a bit more angular, the top/thinner part of the downtube is slightly flat then the sides are come down and each have semi flat spots that come down to one final flat spot... its not super angular more of a hint of it...

well i wasnt expecting as beefy of a carbon fork as i got. my other carbon fork is way thinner walled... it would be nice if it had more clearance. as it stands it maxes out at 28c in the front (though i think my tires run a bit large).
