Information concerning type (5)
I believe the answer is:
genre
'type' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'information concerning' is the wordplay.
'information' becomes 'gen' (gen can informally mean information).
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'gen'+'re'='GENRE'
(Other definitions for genre that I've seen before include "Brand" , "Category (of art)" , "Kind" , "Style of work" , "Style/category of art" .)
