That's a new word for me, but I think I like them here. But I also despise "all glass" towers. I much prefer excessive ornamentation over the minimalism of modern facades, so while these mullions probably don't meet the definition, they still give my eyes something more interesting to look at.
I dont think it needs to be all glass, the glass would still be divided per floor, the horizontal mullions are the horizontal bracings that run through the midpoint of each window on each floor. I wish each floor window had a more solid look, but it wouldn't have to look like a curtain wall
