write — by pen
type — by keyboard
anyway, both are correct, but don't use a "type" if it's meaning about of paper/pen.

"Write" is used when we write words on paper with pen or pencil.
When we use electronics (cell phones, computer keyboards, erc) then we can use "type". Know that we also sometimes use "write" in this case. "Type" is just more specific than write.
"I like to write my notes with colorful pens."
"I typed my shopping list into my phone." (you can also use "write")
Hope that helped 😊
