Hyper is broken

Nobody has claimed this yet.

I'm on MacOS Big Sur. Hyper is broken and unusable after multiple reinstalls - minuscule font, grey frame around window regardless of theme installed; pressing keys causes window to suddenly zoom in for as long as key is held, then out again.

It appears there's a config file that is persisting between installs but I don't know what or where it is. Apparently <brew uninstall --cask hyper> doesn't remove all files.

My config file is below. Any suggestions on how to reset or reinstall correctly, please let me know.

Hyper version: undefined "3.0.2"
OS ARCH VERSION: darwin x64 20.2.0
Electron: 3.1.3 LANG: undefined
SHELL: /bin/zsh TERM: undefined
