This galaxy exhibits a prominent, centrally located bulge, indicating a substantial population of older stars. The bulge appears somewhat yellow in color, consistent with a relatively passive stellar population. Fainter spiral arms emanate from the central bulge; they show evidence of dust lanes and regions of star formation. These arms are very prominent and tightly wound, implying that the galaxy has undergone multiple rotations. A strong bar is visible across the major axis of the galaxy, bisecting the bulge and further contributing to the disruption of the spiral arm structure.

The overall morphology suggests that this is a spiral galaxy with an inclination. There is some evidence of a slight disturbance, but the disturbance is likely minor. There is no evidence that the galaxy is merging.
