Here is a definition of typology from https://victorianweb.org/religion/type/typo10.html#:~:text=Typology%20(or%20typological%20symbolism)%20is,people%20of%20the%20Old%20Testament
Typology (or typological symbolism) is a Christian form of biblical interpretation that proceeds on the assumption that God placed anticipations of Christ in the laws, events, and people of the Old Testament. Typology, which had enormous influence on medieval Europe, seventeenth century England, and Victorian Britain, not only provided literature and art with powerfully imaginative images but also influenced attitudes towards reality and time as well.
What this means is that if you compare pieces of the Old Testament to the life of Jesus, you see similarities which can be used to deepen our understanding of the Old Testament. It assumes that such meaning was intended by God as a form of literary foreshadowing.
As for experience, that means that examples were given in the Old Testament from which we must do the work of interpretation. They have a spiritual meaning which may not be evident without making many logical inferences. Think of it as case law in a country that employs Common Law form of justice. Legal principles must be distilled from the cases in order to define the current understanding of the law. This differs from Statutory Law, where everything is spelled out and there is little room for interpretation.
