Most touring bikes I've seen (or had) look something like a road bike, but with somewhat more slack angles throughout, and generally have a slightly sloped top tube, rather than a level one, like you often see on road bikes.
A few other popular examples, the
Surly Long Haul Trucker and the
Salsa Vaya. I used the Fuji Touring as an example because it's somewhere in between those two.
