You can set custom font in two ways   design time and run-time    First you need to download required font   ttf file format   Then  double click on the file to install it   This will show a pop-up  Click on  install font  button        This will install the font and will appear in  Fonts  window       Now  the font is installed successfully  Drag and drop the custom font in your project  While doing this make sure that  Add to targets  is checked       You need to make sure that this file is also added into  Copy Bundle Resources  present in Build Phases of Targets of your project       After this you need to add this font in Info plist of your project   Create a new key with  Font Provided by application  with type as Array  Add a the font as an element with type String in Array      A  Design mode     Select the label from Storyboard file  Goto Font attribute present in Attribute inspector of Utilities       Click on Font and select  Custom font       From Family section select the custom font you have installed       Now you can see that font of label is set to custom font      B  Run-time mode     self lblWelcome font   UIFont name   BananaYeti-Extrabold Trial   size  16    It seems that run-time mode doesn t work for dynamically formed string like  self lblWelcome text    Welcome      fullname         Note that in above case only design-time approach worked correctly for me

I am assuming this is a custom font  For any custom font this is what you do    First download and add your font files to your project in Xcode   The files should appear as well in    Target -  Build Phases -  Copy Bundle Resources      In your Info plist file add the key    Fonts provided by application    with type    Array     For each font you want to add to your project  create an item for the array you have created with the full name of the file including its extension  e g  HelveticaNeue-UltraLight ttf   Save your    Info plist    file    label font   UIFont  name   HelveticaNeue-UltraLight   size  30

Add Custom Font in Swift   Drag and drop your font in your project  Double check that it is added in Copy Bundle Resource   Build Phase -  Copy Bundle Resource   In your plist file add  Font Provided by application  and add your fonts with full name  Now use your font like  myLabel font   UIFont  name   GILLSANSCE-ROMAN   size  20

A great resource is iosfonts com  which says that the name for that font is HelveticaNeue-UltraLight  So you d use this code   label font   UIFont name   HelveticaNeue-UltraLight   size  30    If the system can t find the font  it defaults to a  normal  font - I think it s something like 11-point Helvetica  This can be quite confusing  always check your font names
