"Hear of" = you get information ABOUT that person or thing.
"Hear from" = you get information directly FROM that person.

Is that "Hear Form" as in "Form"? Or do you mean "From"? Either way both seem really difficult to make out into a full sentence. I would either use "Heard of/Hear About" or "Hear From/Heard From"

And “hear about “?

"Hear of" = you get information ABOUT that person or thing.
"Hear from" = you get information directly FROM that person.
