The galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy with a substantial central bulge. The bulge appears moderately bright and concentrated. Prominent spiral arms are visible, exhibiting a grand design structure. These arms appear somewhat tightly wound. The disk is viewed at a slight angle, not quite edge-on. The arms are distinctly populated with regions of active star formation. A strong bar feature is bisecting the galaxy. The galaxy is not significantly disturbed, although there may be evidence of tidal features resulting from a past interaction.
