Why do my iOS fonts look very pixelated? Best font for iOS7?

Question

I pick Helvetica Neue UltraLight in IB, and it really looks pretty terrible. Is there a best setting for built in iOS fonts or are all the beautiful fonts all custom imports?

Best background color, font, shadow offset, size? That works for you, i.e, your favorite settings or fonts.

My problem was that i have added shadow to parent layer and i had this line self.tabsView.layer.shouldRasterize = YES;
but after removing it the pixeled/blured effect was gone.

Hope it will help.
