Why is it 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.
