How do I display the content type's description in a view's header?

Question

I have a view that lists nodes of a single content type, where the content type is given as contextual filter.

I'd like to add the name of the content type and a description to the header, for example as the following.

Content Type: Cooking

The Cooking content type is for cooking-related content

I can show the content type name by by adding a hidden field to the view and then using <h1>{{ type }}</h1> in the header, but I don't see such an option for the description.

Is there a way to achieve this?

The exception when the filter value is not in the url. Can it be your part?
