The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy's light, obscuring the central region. Light from the obscured core scatters as a blue hue. The galactic bulge appears concentrated and bright, hinting at a substantial mass concentration in the center. The overall color suggests it is a later-type galaxy with active star formation, but the dust lane indicates some gas and dust are present within the disc. There is a hint of asymmetry, possibly indicating a recent minor merger or interaction. The galaxy lacks any tightly wound spiral arms, and instead has a smoother, more diffuse appearance.
