typical + for + -ing

Hello,

I know that typical usually collocates with of. I've also noticed it may collocate with for. For some reasons, however, the following sentence seems somewhat odd to me:

Such a shape is more typical for cutting than crushing.

I know the author wants to say something like this:

Such a shape is more typically used for cutting than crushing.

I wonder, however, whether the same meaning can really be conveyed by the former, shorter, example, that is, whether typical can, indeed, be followed by for + present participle denoting (a particular type of) activity.

Many thanks for any comments!

P.
