i have come across sentences with "you define x, y, and z which are typical to the process"

but i did come across a sentence "you define x, y, and z typical of the process"

which is correct?

Actually, only the latter seems normal to me. Googling gives typical to = 514,000, most of which seem to be ' typical to + verb' (a different structure than yours), vs typical of = 16,800,000 (most of which seem to be the structure you are asking about).
