It looks like a "Unicrown style" fork. Some people like it and some don't. This one looks OK as it still has vestiges of s fork crown on it, unlike others that just look like a continuous "U" bent tube with no interruption to it as it crosses over the steerer tube. These forks became common in the early 90's on many brand bikes. I don't think they ride any different from ost forks with fork crown "shoulders" on them. More of a stylistic thing and maybe a cost savings thing where the fork leg tube is just bent to a "U".
