These days, an online type specimen is a web site.
Before that, in print, I was always fascinated by type specimens as literature.
In other words, well written.

There are quite a few online sites that fit the bill (I try), but it would be hard to top Klim, which is also richly interactive.3 -
The Internet Archive has more than a few.1

“Online type specimen” sounds like online-first or online-only, like the ones Grilli do. Is that what you mean?1
