stylistically
In artistic manner
Stylistically is an adverb that describes how something relates to style—the distinctive manner in which something is done, made, or expressed.
It most often appears in discussions of art, writing, music, or design: Stylistically, the film borrows heavily from noir.
Critics and analysts use it to focus attention on formal qualities rather than content or meaning: The two novels are stylistically similar but thematically opposed.
