A type α is measure-free (Fremlin 438A: "measure-free" / "of measure zero", there stated
for cardinals) if every probability measure on α defined on all subsets of α (i.e., w.r.t. the
discrete σ-algebra ⊤) gives positive mass to some singleton.

Every countable type is measure-free.
On a measure-free type, every nonzero s-finite measure on the discrete σ-algebra gives positive mass to some singleton.
On a measure-free type, an s-finite measure on the discrete σ-algebra that vanishes on all singletons is zero.
On a measure-free type, every s-finite measure on the discrete σ-algebra is discrete: the measure of a set is the sum of the masses of its points.
Measure-freeness passes to types that inject into a measure-free type.
Measure-freeness is invariant under equivalence.
A sum of measure-free types indexed by a measure-free type is measure-free.
Every type of cardinality at most ℵ₁ is measure-free (Ulam; Fremlin 438C).
