The suffix –ish is useful for describing people.
Examples:
She is tallish.
He has brownish hair.

It is indeed used on the ends of some adjectives. You would not use it with fine or good but you could use it with red.

It is also used with numbers, which are adjectives when not used as digits. It means 'approximately'.
"Let's meet at 10ish at my house." How many people were there?" "10ish".
