Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Types is masculine in French because it derives from the Greek "typos" (τύπος), meaning "blow" or "impression," which entered French through Latin "typus"—and Latin masculine nouns ending in "-us" typically remained masculine when borrowed into French. This is an exception to the common pattern where many French nouns shifted gender, but Greek-derived words often retained their original masculine classification.
