Use reflection to get type of abstract base class [Answered]

I have the following setup:

abstract class Formatter<T> { }
class StringFormatter : Formatter<string> { }

abstract class Formatter<T> { }
class StringFormatter : Formatter<string> { }

I want to use reflection to find out what kind of formatter a certain type is

Type type = typeof(StringFormatter);
string typeName = ??? // should be "string"

Type type = typeof(StringFormatter);
string typeName = ??? // should be "string"

How do I go about getting this?
