just right
Perfectly suited, ideal
Exactly as it should be—neither too much nor too little, neither over nor under.
The phrase suggests precise calibration: porridge that's just right (neither too hot nor too cold), a fit that's just right, timing that's just right.
Often implies satisfaction after failed attempts at extremes.
