typical has 1 distinct synonym spread across 1 of its 3 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. Its one recorded opposite is atypical.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
exhibiting the qualities or characteristics that identify a group or kind or category
“a typical American girl”
of a feature that helps to distinguish a person or thing
“Jerusalem has a distinctive Middle East flavor”
