Display Product Category on Marketplace Browse Overview

When browsing products on the Marketplace overview pages, it is not immediately clear what type of product is being shown. The preview image alone is often not sufficient to determine whether the item is clothing, an animation, a tattoo, a shape, or another product type.
Users must either already know the brand or rely on visual hints in the image. In many cases there is no clear indication, which forces users to open each product page individually just to identify the product type. This slows down browsing and reduces usability.
It would significantly improve clarity and browsing efficiency if the primary product category were displayed directly below the product image in the overview grid.

When looking at the search page results, on the left hand side we do provide a total number of items that are of each category type, and provide ways to filter by category on a search result.

Could you provide more information about what page in particular you're seeing items that are unclear? Is it in general search?

Yes, I am referring to the general Marketplace search results and browse overview pages. When product names are not explicit and the seller is not known, it is often impossible to determine whether the item is clothing, an animation, a tattoo, a shape, or another product type based on the image alone.
In those cases users must open each listing individually just to identify the product type. Displaying the product category directly in the search overview would solve this.
For example, I often see a product in the search results that looks like a nice outfit. After opening the listing, it turns out to be only a shape or an animation instead. Because the category is not visible in the overview, this cannot be recognized before opening the product page.
