The galaxy presents as a spiral type, observed at an angle that is not quite face-on, but significantly inclined. It appears to be a grand design spiral, characterized by prominent and well-defined spiral arms. These arms are not tightly wound but instead exhibit a more open, loose structure. The arms show evidence of active star formation, indicated by the presence of brighter, knotty regions that likely correspond to HII regions or star clusters.

The central bulge appears moderate in size, not dominating the galaxy's overall structure, suggesting that it is not a classical elliptical galaxy in its later stages. The presence of a weak bar structure is suspected, showing a slightly elongated shape.

There is evidence of possible tidal disturbances or interactions with a smaller galaxy in close proximity, suggesting an ongoing or recent merger event. This is manifested by asymmetric distortions in the outer regions of the disk and possible faint tidal streams.
