The galaxy presents as a roughly elliptical object with a concentrated central bulge. The overall color is a yellowish-orange, indicating a stellar population dominated by older, redder stars and a low rate of recent star formation. The galaxy is relatively smooth in appearance, lacking distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes. There may be some very minor disturbances or tidal features present, but the overall impression is that of a relatively relaxed system. The elongation is moderate, with an axis ratio that suggests a transition from a spheroidal to a more disk-like system.
