Hi, Lenka,
(Sorry, I am experimenting with quotation and I'm happy that it works! I am able to quote some part of a message instead of the whole, hurray!)
I think in this context it's for. But otherwise we use of:
It's typical of Donna to forget about her debts.
Let's see if smb confirms my point of view.

[matilda]

in my opinion, both can be used. but for sounds better

[Lenka]

I took this sentence over from a book written in English. They used word "OF" to complete the "gap".

This sign is typical OF people who like travelling...


I just tried to ask you, as it seemes weird to me. I'd use "for" too, but I don't know why... Probably because of the fact that when I first saw "typical OF" I said to myself something like: "What is it? I've never seen "typical" with such preposition".

Anyway, I had a look to my dictionary and it said that "typical of" is used quite often....
