What does la mar de mean?

ExpressionColoquial

ever so

A fond, slightly old-fashioned intensifier that has survived intact: la mar de bien, la mar de simpático, la mar de contenta. It sounds softer than muy, which is why it turns up when you are trying to convince somebody you are fine.

Está la mar de contenta con el trabajo nuevo.
Warmer than muy, and a little more insistent.
