Tease the awfully arty type (8)
I believe the answer is:
aesthete
'arty type' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'tease the awfully' is the wordplay.
'awfully' is an anagram indicator.
'tease'+'the'='teasethe'
'teasethe' anagrammed gives 'AESTHETE'.
(Other definitions for aesthete that I've seen before include "One appreciating art and beauty" , "Person with great sensitivity towards the arts and the beautiful" , "One has a special appreciation of art and beauty" , "Person with deep interest in art and beauty" , "person of culture" .)
