After working among the three book arts communities around Leonard Baskin at Smith, Ray Nash\u00a0at Dartmouth, and the Stinehour Press, he helped David Godine establish his publishing company\u00a0(1969\u201374). During the first years they printed letterpress books, often illustrated with Hidy\u2019s wood engravings and etchings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since 1974 Hidy has operated his own studio for illustration and photography, and for the design of\u00a0posters, books, corporate identities, and postage stamps. For the book\u00a0<i>Yosemite and the\u00a0Range of Light\u00a0<\/i>(1979), Ansel Adams chose Hidy as art director\u2014a role that he continues to\u00a0perform for the books published by the Ansel Adams Trust and Little, Brown.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/media-old\/2014\/04\/Hidy-Stamp.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8466 alignleft\" alt=\"Hidy Stamp\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/media-old\/2014\/04\/Hidy-Stamp-300x238.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"238\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While a consultant\u00a0to Adobe Systems, 1987\u201397, Hidy produced the typeface Penumbra, a titling family of sixteen\u00a0fonts.
