For mkii you need the texnansi encoding for the fonts, mkiv has no problems with \type but haven’t told which engine you use neither did you provide a full example.
Run this and you will get the correct output for \type:
\usetypescript[modern][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[modern] \starttext - \type{-} -- \type{--} --- \type{---} \stoptext

i use mkiv, specifically the version you get via ./first-setup.sh --extras="t-simplefonts,t-tikz" i now found out that the simplefonts module cuses this: \usemodule[simplefonts] \starttext \type{--} \stoptext
