i think the physical fork is a touch pushed back.
the way they raked the forks at Medici was the same basic way Masi did- so if they were anything the leading edge of the blades could get in column with the steerer.
you could do some trail calculations- mid 40’s would be typical- trail is funny sometimes less rake provides greater trail.
medici typical front end geometry was more stable than a typical Masi GC. Counterintuitive.
and check the actual bike for a level top tube.
