good sort
Reliable, kind person
A good sort is a decent, likable person—someone fundamentally kind and reliable.
The phrase is more common in British and Australian English than American: He's a good sort, always willing to help.
It conveys warm but casual approval, suggesting someone you'd trust without necessarily knowing deeply.
