But the context will tell us something about the hug on its own, won't it? This hug isn't happening in a vacuum, it's part of a scene, with characters we know things about. If we understand their relationship, we will probably not need much help imagining them hugging in a sufficiently enthusiastic manner. That is, assuming it's important at all.
Look, whatever you do, don't use any adverbs. No "warmly," no "strongly," no "ardently." Even wordiness is better than gratuitous adverb use.
