The galaxy presents as a barred spiral, oriented approximately edge-on relative to our line of sight. A prominent, elongated central bulge exhibits a yellowish-red hue, suggesting a population of older stars and/or significant dust obscuration. Faint spiral arms extend outwards from the ends of the bar. These spiral arms show a mottled blue color, which indicates regions of recent star formation. The spiral arms appear somewhat tightly wound. The disk appears relatively smooth and undisturbed, showing no obvious signs of major tidal interactions or mergers. The bar of this spiral galaxy appears to dominate the structure. There seems to be a moderate amount of material in between the arms of this galaxy.
