This galaxy presents as a grand design spiral, although the spiral structure appears somewhat flocculent. Two prominent spiral arms originate from the central bulge, exhibiting a loose winding pattern. These arms show clumpy regions that likely correspond to areas of active star formation. The central bulge is moderately sized and presents a concentrated luminosity. A bar is suspected running through the bulge. Overall, the galaxy exhibits a degree of disturbance which could point to possible merging or tidal interactions.
