We can think of Penguin as demoting pages that were mostly ranking because of SEO efforts rather than their inherent value. I think Penguin looked for both positive and negative signals and then mixed them up into a single "Complex Cocktail".
I don't think there is a better summary statement about Penguin anywhere.
