The galaxy presents as a slightly elongated, intermediate spiral, possibly an Sa or Sb type, viewed at an oblique angle. The central bulge appears relatively prominent and smooth with a golden hue. The spiral arms are not well-defined, but appear tightly wound. There is a general smoothness to the overall light distribution, with only subtle indications of distinct features. The galaxy is of intermediate size and luminosity. Some minor asymmetry in the spiral structure suggests a possible gravitational interaction or recent minor merger. There is a noticeable lack of significant blue regions of active star formation, indicating a relatively low ongoing star formation rate.
