Using the Text Tool is essential for adding text layers in design applications. This tool is specifically designed for creating and manipulating text, which makes it ideal for inserting custom text like "CLIMB." The Text Tool allows users to type, format, and style text according to their design needs.

In contrast, the Paint Tool is primarily used for freehand drawing or painting on a canvas, making it unsuitable for text input. The Shape Tool is focused on creating geometric shapes and is not intended for direct text creation. The Line Tool, as the name suggests, is meant for drawing straight lines, which again does not support text functions. Therefore, the Text Tool is the optimal choice for adding a new horizontal text layer.
