How to access the iOS system font programmatically
SWIFT 4+: shorter version
UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 14.0, weight: .regular)
You can access the system font like this, and even set the weight of the font:
Swift 3, Swift 4
UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 18, weight: UIFontWeightLight)
Swift 2
UIFont.systemFontOfSize(18, weight: UIFontWeightLight)
For the font weight you have the choice between those constants, there available from iOS 8.2:
UIFontWeightUltraLight,
UIFontWeightThin,
UIFontWeightLight,
UIFontWeightRegular,
UIFontWeightMedium,
UIFontWeightSemibold,
UIFontWeightBold,
UIFontWeightHeavy,
UIFontWeightBlack
I think you need:
NSFontAttributeName : UIFont.systemFontOfSize(19.0)
Or the bold version:
NSFontAttributeName : UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(19.0)
