I was confused, too, because we would use どんな considerably more often than なんという to say what OP seems to have wanted to say.

Relatedly, does どんなやつかよ work for "what a bastard" or something like that in reaction to seeing some guy be a jerk? I'm trying to remember if I've seen that before.

It is either
どんなやつだよ! or
どんなやつなんだよ!
