artsiest

Most creatively affected

Artsiest is the superlative of artsy, describing whoever or whatever most strongly displays artistic affectation or pretension.

The word often carries a gentle mockery—suggesting someone tries conspicuously to appear creative or cultured: She hangs out with the artsiest crowd in Brooklyn.

That's the artsiest coffee shop I've ever seen.
