The galaxy presents as a spiral type, viewed at a moderate inclination, not quite edge-on. It exhibits a central bulge region, and it appears relatively small compared to the rest of the disk. Distinct spiral arm structures are readily visible and exhibit a somewhat open winding pattern. Two prominent arms can be discerned and can be traced out from the central region. The arms are not perfectly symmetrical, indicating minor disturbances and possible interactions with the environment. There is no strong evidence of a bar-like structure in the central region. The general appearance of the galaxy is consistent with ongoing or recent star formation within the arms, suggested by a clumpy texture and a range of colors. The disk is dominant. No major mergers appear to be happening, although some asymmetry suggests a minor disturbance.
