drawingContext.DrawText replacement in Windows 8.1 App

Question

How do I draw text using a custom fornt in C# in a Windows 8.1 Store App?

I used to do it with drawingContext.DrawText with System.Windows.Media.Typeface in my XAML applications.

Thank you!

I see that there are three control options I can use: Textbox, TextBlock and Label.

For my application it looks like TextBlock will be the most suitable because it is lite weight and it is very customizable.
