Description:

from wikipedia:

HP is a cubic-grain black-and-white film from Ilford Photo with a long history.
It originated as Hypersensitive Panchromatic plates in 1931. Since then it progressed 
through a number of versions, with HP5 plus (HP5+ for short) being the latest. The main 
competitor of Ilford HP5 Plus is Kodak Tri-X 400.  

from ilford:

HP5 PLUS is a high speed, medium contrast film making it especially suitable for action and 
press photography and also an excellent choice for general purpose photography. Nominally 
rated at ISO 400, it yields negatives of outstanding sharpness and fine grain under all 
lighting conditions. HP5 PLUS has been formulated to respond well to push processing and 
film speeds up to EI 3200/36 are achievable with ILFORD MICROPHEN developer maintaining 
good shadow detail and well separated mid-tones with sharp grain.

Only used it for dev purposes, nothing much for me to add.
