The primary component, Epsilon Sculptoris A, is a yellow-white F-type main-sequence star[4] with an apparent magnitude of +5.34.[17] Orbiting it with a separation of 4.6 arcseconds, or at least 125 astronomical units, is Epsilon Sculptoris B, a yellow G-type main sequence dwarf with an apparent magnitude of +8.50.[18] A and B make one orbit around their centre of mass once every 1200 years.[19]

There are two optical companions, the 15th magnitude designated Epsilon Sculptoris C at an angular separation of 15 arcseconds and the 11th magnitude Epsilon Sculptoris D, at a separation of 142 arcseconds.[20] Both these faint stars have small Gaia parallaxes indicating a much greater distance than the Epsilon Sculptoris pair.[21]

This star will be in constellation Fornax around 2920 CE.[22]
