Use the PrivateFontCollection to load the font (See the AddFontFile and AddMemoryFont). You then use the font normally for label control.

PrivateFontCollection pfc = new PrivateFontCollection();
pfc.AddFontFile("C:\\Path To\\YourFont.ttf");
label1.Font = new Font(pfc.Families[0], 16, FontStyle.Regular);
