“Typ” is a delicately chosen word that addresses a variety of notions and plays a fundamental role in the activities of TYP as a design brand.

The word “archetype” derives from the Latin noun “archetypum”. It means “first-molded”- a compound of arché: beginning, origin, and týpos: pattern, model, or type.
