The Seba library treats Typos in 4 passages, across 4 authors (including Stein, Murray, Jung, C.G., Peterson, Cody).
typos means a stamp impressed on a coin, and arche means the original or master copy. Each human individual bears an impression of the archetype of the self. This is innate and given.

Von Franz’s alchemical text uses ‘typos portat’ to characterize the philosopher’s stone as a carrier of types or figures, situating the term within the typological and hermeneutic tradition of sacred disguise and hidden treasure.
