14 Persei is a single star{{citation | last1=Eggleton | first1=P. P. | last2=Tokovinin | first2=A.

It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude is 5.43. The object is slowly moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −1.2 km/s.

The spectral classification of 14 Persei is as a G0 yellow supergiant, but in other respects it appears to be a giant star. The class has been given as {{nowrap|G0Ib-II Ca1 CH-1}}{{cite journal|bibcode=1980ApJS...42..541K|title=Revised MK spectral types for G, K, and M stars|journal=Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series|volume=42|pages=541|last1=Keenan|first1=P.

It has expanded to 57 times the Sun's radius and has a projected rotational velocity of 8.7 km/s. The star is radiating 372 times as much luminosity compared to the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,624 K.

14 Persei has been calculated to lie within the Cepheid instability strip although it is not considered to be variable. Uncertainty in the absolute magnitude means that the star may actually lie near the instability strip but not on it. Small periodic radial velocity variations are seen, but an order of magnitude or more smaller than for Cepheid variables and with longer periods than would be expected for pulsations. The cause of the radial velocity changes and the difference between variable and non-variable stars within the instability strip is unknown.{{cite journal | bibcode=1998ApJ...494..342B | title=A Precision Velocity Study of Photometrically Stable Stars in the Cepheid Instability Strip | journal=The Astrophysical Journal | volume=494 | pages=342–365 | last1=Butler | first1=R.
