The galaxy presents as a spiral type, viewed at an angle oblique to face-on. Prominent spiral arms emanate from a central bulge. The arms display a relatively high degree of winding, appearing tightly wrapped around the nucleus. Two dominant arms are discernible. Patches of blue light are scattered throughout the arms, indicating ongoing star formation regions. The central bulge is moderately sized and exhibits a yellow-orange hue, suggestive of an older stellar population. No apparent bar structure is evident within the galaxy. There is some visual suggestion of tidal disturbances or faint merging activity, though the features are subtle.
