The galaxy presents as a disk-shaped system viewed at a high inclination. The central bulge is prominent, exhibiting a smooth, concentrated morphology and a yellowish-white color suggesting a population of older stars. The disk is bluer in color, possibly indicating regions of ongoing star formation. The overall shape of the galaxy is elongated, appearing somewhat cigar-shaped. There is no obvious evidence of a major merger or significant tidal disturbances, although a minor disturbance is plausible.
