The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, though its morphology leans toward an intermediate type. The galaxy presents a generally smooth appearance, with a distinct bulge and faint spiral arm structures. It has a slightly elongated shape, but tends more to round than it does to cigar shaped. The galaxy's color suggests some active star formation; the arms exhibit bluer hues. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing a major merger, though there may be some minor disturbance or interaction present.
