There used to be dumbphones for elder people with big buttons at retail stores not too long ago (at least at my place). Maybe these aren't advertised on the web. Edit: don't know about US, though
On work we have also two rugged cellphones with a keypad. They have a color screen, but you can't really use the web, I guess .. I never tryed ..
Search ebay for mini cellphone, they have dumb phones thats basically credit card or lighter sized with a keypad.
The Alcatel flip phone at Consumer Cellular looks like it's strictly text and phone except for the bit about downloading wallpaper suggests it has some kind of web client inside. https://www.consumercellular.com/Products/813/Details
I have that exact phone and it has a browser built in. It's lower quality than usual but it's good enough to waste a few hours with.
Walk into best buy. I bought one last summer. Texting is slow.

That looks over engineered and still not as simple as it could be. Think of those cell phones in the 90s that had a single line (or two) of spaces for text, and they had no features but calling and texting. That's perfect, it has literally already been invented, it just needs to be resold, and perhaps put in a pretty package again, but not like this. Not like this.
Is it? I'm a LP2 backer, and agree with you that I want a phone that does not have a browser, or an App Store, or anything like that; however, I do believe that the small set of tools LP2 is planning on coming with (simple directions, ride sharing, alarm, in particular) are pretty much no-downside.
What bothers you about features like these? Or is it the pricetag?
Sounds like it might work for you.
how did you write this message if you do not have internet?
I'm at my local public library which has wifi. It's also how I download new NPM modules, email my client, deliver my work to him, etc. But I do 90% of my work offline at home.
