The galaxy presents as a lenticular or early-type spiral galaxy viewed nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy's disk, obscuring the central bulge. The bulge is small in comparison to the disk. The overall color of the galaxy appears reddish, suggesting an older stellar population and a low rate of current star formation, consistent with minimal observed blue light. No distinct spiral arm structure is visible; this is most likely due to the edge-on viewing angle. There is no evidence of active galactic nuclei activity or ongoing major merger events, although there is a small amount of disturbance in the disk. The galaxy exhibits an intermediate roundness.
