Kind face (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

type

This clue is a double definition.

'kind' is the first definition.
(type is a kind of kind)

'face' is the second definition.
(I have seen 'The face' mean 'type' so perhaps 'face' could also mean 'type')

(Other definitions for type that I've seen before include "Produce characters" , "Sort - pattern - print" , "Class or group of a particular class" , "Figure" , "Print - classification" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
