The galaxy presents as a relatively faint, disk-shaped structure viewed nearly edge-on from our vantage point. There is evidence of a central bulge, although it is not particularly prominent. Dust lanes are visible and appear to be concentrated in a plane through the center. There is little indication of strong star formation, which is indicated by its apparent color as well as the lack of well-defined spiral arms or prominent blue regions. There does not appear to be any evidence of a major ongoing merger, but there are some hints of disturbances in the overall structure.
