The galaxy presents as a spiral, though its disk is oriented at a significant inclination relative to our line of sight. There is a prominent bulge, appearing somewhat elongated. Spiral arms are visible, though not particularly well-defined; they appear somewhat flocculent. A bar is visible, spanning a significant portion of the bulge and oriented roughly along the major axis of the galaxy. The overall color is relatively blue, suggestive of ongoing star formation. There is some evidence of dust lanes within the disk, particularly near the central bulge. The galaxy appears relatively isolated.
