Lore-wise I don't think there's any difference between hard and soft humanity.

Regardless of the apparent state, humanity is always in its soft form, it's just that it is kept in a vessel of some sort, either a body or whatever keeps them in the item form, much like how soul items are just souls kept in storage through some unknown means.

This does bring up an interesting thing, though. As it's quite possible these are simply large humanities, and function exactly the same as a humanity item, only there's so much humanity that it harms you, instead of healing you.
