The galaxy presents as a relatively small, edge-on or highly inclined disk galaxy. Its overall shape is elongated, appearing cigar-shaped. The light distribution appears somewhat smooth, though there may be subtle features. A prominent central bulge is observed in the galaxy's core and its light is more reddish in color. Proceeding outwards from the central bulge towards the outer disk, the colors shift to a more greenish-blue hue. This color gradient suggests ongoing star formation in the disk compared to an older stellar population in the central bulge. No major disturbances or signs of ongoing mergers are readily apparent, but subtle asymmetries or minor disturbances cannot be entirely ruled out.
