The visible component has a stellar classification of G0 V, indicating the object's status as a solar analogue. As for the companion, it is probably a K-type star based on a mass of 0.69 M.[11] As of 2018, both stars have a projected separation of 700 mas along a position angle of 0°.[14] The system has an orbital period of 86.6 years.[11]

Despite the class described above, the primary is starting to evolve off the main sequence at the age of 6.8 billion years, having a low surface gravity[8] and a slightly enlarged radius of 1.66 R,[7] with the addition of being chromospherically inactive.[3] Nevertheless, it has 107% the mass of the Sun[6] and radiates at 2.88 times the luminosity of the Sun[7] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,870 K,[8] giving a yellow glow. HD 88218 A has an iron abundance 72% that of the Sun[8] and spins leisurely with a projected rotational velocity of km/s.[9]
