The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed at a relatively high inclination. It exhibits a flattened, elongated morphology, leaning towards a cigar shape. The central bulge is prominent, appearing relatively smooth and exhibiting a brighter, concentrated luminosity, with its apparent color towards blue-violet. Fainter, diffuse spiral arms extend from the central bulge, showing bluer color. The arms are not well-defined, instead appearing as broad, indistinct structures. There is no clear evidence of a recent major merger, although a possible slight irregularity in the arm structure suggests minor interactions or internal disturbances. The galaxy displays a moderate amount of star formation.
