• Synonym人情にんじょうNeutralBroader than 「人情味」: covers human warmth and sympathy, but also common human feelings and what ordinary people generally think.

• RelatedヒューマニティーWrittenLoanword for humanity or humanitarian ideals; an abstract, formal-flavored term that is rare even in written prose.
• Related情味じょうみWrittenWritten-style word for charm or appeal; stresses an attractive beauty rather than warmth, and is rare even in prose.
• Antonym冷酷れいこくNeutralAntonym: coldhearted, cruel and ruthless — the direct opposite of warm 「人情味」; common in written prose.
• Antonym非情ひじょうWrittenWritten-style antonym: callous and unfeeling; contrasts with having 「人情味」, and often appears as 「非情な決断」.

For warm, kind treatment of people, say 「人情味がある」. Use 「人間味」 when human warmth comes with weakness or imperfection, and 「人情」 for human feelings or what people generally think. 「冷酷」 is the opposite: cold and heartless.
