Designers buy images. Leave type out. As soon as you put type in, you have limited the use of your photograph. Edit: OP mentioned in a private mail that he is doing illustrations, not images. So if he is providing vectors, it’s a different story. You would need to look at the license for the font you are using. Sometimes they are only licensed for personal use, other times they allow commercial use.

Have you read this? https://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=ofl-faq_web

Looks like you can use it. But don't count on my words, I'm not a lawyer.
