If you look right at the crown and fix your gaze at the distance between the crown and the square, and then look at upper part of the steerer tube and compare that to the square, it is closer. Similarly, if you look at the fork end of the square, and compare the distance to the fork, it is about the same as the steerer tube. The crown race area is definitely bent "outward" or simply, back. I'm not sure if this is a feature, however.
