The galaxy presents as a relatively face-on spiral galaxy with a prominent central bulge that has a smooth appearance and concentrated light. The galactic disk appears to be somewhat disturbed, exhibiting hints of spiral arm structure that are not sharply defined. There is a slight elongation to the shape of the galaxy, appearing somewhat cigar shaped. The disk shows evidence of blue star formation regions interspersed among older stellar populations that give the galaxy a reddish hue. The galaxy shows no obvious signs of a major merger event, though minor disturbances could be present within the disk structure. The central bulge of the galaxy seems undisturbed, presenting a smooth texture and a more yellow appearance.
