Immediate Mode GUI Programming
Immediate mode is a fuzzy concept, as witnessed by this writeup: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/About-the-IMGUI-paradi...
The Dear ImGui readme is a good starting point:
https://github.com/ocornut/imgui
...now of course Dear ImGui is a specific implementation of an immediate mode UI framework, but it's also the most popular implementation.

Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface with minimal dependencies
From the faq https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/docs/FAQ.md#q-w...
Q. What is this library called?
This library is called Dear ImGui. Please refer to it as Dear ImGui (not ImGui, not IMGUI).
(The library misleadingly started its life in 2014 as "ImGui" due to the fact that I didn't give it a proper name when I released 1.0, and had no particular expectation that it would take off. However, the term IMGUI (immediate-mode graphical user interface) was coined before and is being used in variety of other situations e.g. Unity uses it own implementation of the IMGUI paradigm. To reduce the ambiguity without affecting existing code bases, I have decided in December 2015 a fully qualified name "Dear ImGui" for this library.
ImGui is engine/GPU agnostic
Themeing isn't a just a retained mode thing, you can do wonders with immediate UIs, even thought (dear)ImGui doesn't provide much, you can still do wonders: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/707#issuecomment-362...
More on that topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1qyvQsjK5Y
My first guess would be it is supposed to sound like "Dear Imogen". However, it wasn't initially conceived of as a reference to anything. The "Dear" was tacked on to qualify the name [1].

LÖVE: a framework to make 2D games in Lua
> And for the right project, especially those where a predefined engine structure does not not fit, it can still be the most productive choice.
Right on. While interning at an oil refinery, I developed an application in LÖVE that processes and displays data from spectrometers. In hindsight it may not have been the wisest choice, but hand rolling all the GUI elements I couldnt force out of the Nuklear[0] bindings for LÖVE gave me a strange sense of satisfaction.

Is there no simple GUI library for pure C?
I think good option would be nuklear it is a single header lib

ImGui or text rendering libraries
For GUI, there are lots, most well-known of course being Dear Imgui, for which people have made auto-generated C bindings. Another mature but a lot simpler option is Nuklear, as others have mentioned. Even more minimalistic (it's just 1KLOC) is microui. There are a lot more, just google "imgui library c".
There's Nuklear.
