This galaxy exhibits a prominent spiral structure, though the arms are tightly wound. They appear numerous and somewhat indistinct, with a fuzzy, flocculent quality rather than well-defined lanes. The central bulge is moderately sized and quite bright, with a concentrated luminosity. Overall, the galaxy has a slightly elongated, disk-like shape, but is presented in a roughly face-on orientation. There is a suggestion of a subtle bar structure within the central region. Star formation appears active, implied by the bluer hues scattered throughout the spiral arms. No signs of significant tidal disturbances or ongoing major mergers are apparent.
