The rim of Armiński is slightly oval in shape, being somewhat elongated in the northeastern direction. It forms a double-crater with Armiński K, a slightly smaller formation nearly attached to the southeast rim. There is pair of a tiny craterlets lying across the southwest part of Arminski's outer wall. The interior floor is relatively level, with a small craterlet near the western inner wall.
