Xamarin.Forms: Is there any way to set default Font (Family) in derived style in xaml?

I need to set (reset) font style to default in some Labels (for instance) when the basic Label style is setup to some specific font family. I.e.:

        <Style TargetType="Label">
            <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{StaticResource ThinFontFamily}" />
        </Style>


        <Style TargetType="Label" x:Key="MyCustomStyle">
            <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="... to some default"></Setter>
        </Style>

There are of course, two other ways: to define all the labels explicitly and use custom renderers, but this is like lots of code.

The platform default font family can be set with an empty value in the style setter property:

<Style x:Key="defaultLabel" TargetType="Label">
    <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="" />
</Style>
...
<Label x:Name="label" Style="{StaticResource defaultLabel}"
       Text="{Binding Source={x:Reference label}, 
                      Path=Font, StringFormat='Default: {0}'}}" />
