Answer 1

This font is bundled with iOS 7, so if you're targeting iOS 7 and above your

label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Thin" size:16.0f];

will work.

However if you are targeting iOS 6.1 and below you'll need to embed the font

    let font = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue-Thin", size: 16.0)!
