Why is it masculine?

Tipos is masculine because it derives from the Latin "typus," which was itself borrowed from Greek "typos" (τύπος). This Latin masculine noun retained its gender through the evolution into Spanish. The word originally meant "a blow" or "impression," later developing the meaning of "type" or "fellow." In Spanish, masculine nouns ending in -o are the default gender class, and "tipo" follows this productive pattern.
