⚠️ The trap
'Tipo' as a noun matches 'type', but it cannot mean 'to type' — that is 'digitare'. Also, in Italian slang 'tipo' means a guy, which has no English equivalent in the word 'type'.
To say "a category or kind of thing; also: to type on a keyboard" in Italian:
digitare (to type on keyboard)
