The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy, viewed at a moderate inclination, showing a distinct bluish hue. The overall shape is elongated, with the major axis significantly longer than the minor axis. There is evidence of spiral arm structure, though it is somewhat flocculent rather than grand design. The galaxy exhibits a prominent central bulge, which appears moderately sized, though not dominant. There is a suggestion of a bar-like structure oriented along the major axis of the galaxy. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, with no clear signs of a recent major merger, although there is evidence of tidal interactions. The color gradients suggest active star formation in the disk. The dust lanes appear well defined within the spiral arms.
