   Default WordPress Post Type Names
   Here are the default post type names. Use these as the parameter for this function to collect the post type object

   • post
   • page
   • attachment
   • revision
   • nav_menu_item

Display the post type. This example needs to be inside the loop.

printf( __( 'The post type is: %s', 'textdomain' ), get_post_type( get_the_ID() ) );

Conditional sentence to see if it is a post type.

if ( get_post_type( get_the_ID() ) == 'slug_post_type' ) {
    //if is true
}

get_post_type();
is commonly used in conjunction with Post Formats.
Functionality is extended in themes by including:
add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'aside', 'gallery' ) );
in your functions.php file.

After including this in your theme’s functions.php file, the option to choose a post type (that you included inside the array) will appear in the right sidebar when creating/editing a post.

If no Post Type is selected, WordPress selects the default which is Standard.

WordPress supported post formats (that are not defaults) are:
'aside', 'gallery', 'link', 'image', 'quote', 'status', 'video', 'audio', 'chat'
