De Vaucouleurs Atlas Description:

This nearby dwarf has a boxy shape and a bar oriented nearly north-south. The bar is highly resolved into individual stars while the background boxy disk light is not. The (s) classification is based mainly on the spiral wisp located off the south end of the bar; this wisp is highly resolved like the bar. Several bright star-forming complexes lie off the north side of the bar.
