About

型 may be read as either がた or けい and is used as a suffix meaning "type", "shape", or "form". 型 can follow either nouns or い-adjectives.

E.g. 血液けつえきがたなに? "What's your blood type?"

かた can also be used as a standalone noun that means "model; type; shape; mould".

E.g. クッキーをつくりたいけどかたがないな。 "I want to make cookies but I don't have a cookie cutter."

型 may be replaced with the kanji 形. 形 can also be read as either がた or けい and is used specifically when dealing with the physical "shape" of something. 型 can be used for physical shapes, as well as "styles" and "types".
