Crossword Genius

Information on category (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

genre

'category' is the definition.
(I know that genre is a type of form)

'information on' is the wordplay.
'information' becomes 'gen' (gen can informally mean information).
'on' becomes 're' (regarding).
'gen'+'re'='GENRE'

(Other definitions for genre that I've seen before include "Brand" , "Artistic or literary category" , "Style (of art/literature)" , "Style/category of art" , "expressive style of music" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
