Hypermodern play, in general, constitutes playing a more open game using control by pieces rather than occupation. It will also try to keep attacking options open. Rather than heavy center control or large battles for center-occupation, it is common to see more attacking on the flanks. For Hiarcs, the result is a different style of play that can be more difficult for many to handle (both human and engines.) Regards, -elc.
