Who on Instagram is using text in interesting ways?

I'm interested in finding Instagram accounts that are primarily focused on artistic /appealing text-based posts, or posts with text content as well as some form of image. The ones I'd be most interested in seeing would have harmony between text and image, good typography, basically a way of delivering a text-based message in a pleasing, easy-to-read way.
So far text-based Instagram posts seem to come in five major flavors:
What I'm not looking for: Posts that are screenshots of tweets or Facebook posts, or text memes . The artistry and typography of the post is what I'm interested in.
Don't think that any you might know of are too obvious or too well known to bother posting! I was completely unaware of Rupi Kaur until I started looking for text-heavy accounts, and she's got over 4 million followers. Thank you!

- Insta-therapists and life coaches / motivational quotes (like Nedra Tawwab or The Open Invite)
- Insta-poets (like Rupi Kaur or Nikita Gill)
- Advice on content creation / business / personal development (like Ginny Fears or Flair Digital Marketing)
- Social justice / political content (like Avery Francis or The Slow Factory)
- Headlines or quotes from articles (like the Washington Post or NYT Books)

Best answer: I follow so many text-heavy accounts! Some that come to mind immediately are avocado_ibuprofen (definitely check this one out!), yumisakugawa, gendersauce, seerutkchawla, yourdiagnonsense, quotesbychristie.
