The galaxy exhibits a distinct spiral structure, though the arms appear somewhat diffuse and not tightly wound. The central bulge dominates the visual appearance of the galaxy, displaying a relatively large, bright concentration of older stellar populations which gives it a yellowish hue. While the galaxy is not perfectly face-on, its inclination allows for some observation of the spiral arms. There is faint evidence of some ongoing star formation distributed throughout these arms. There appears to be little evidence of interaction or major disturbances that would indicate ongoing or recent merger activity, even with its neighbors. Overall, the galaxy is an intermediate spiral galaxy with a well-defined bulge and moderately active star formation.
