Swift update

If you've already added the font to the app (as explained here) you can use Swift's extension feature with, as example, a UILabel and the Roboto font:

extension UILabel {

    func setFont(style: String, size: Int){
        self.font = UIFont(name: style, size: CGFloat(size))
    }

    struct FontStyle {
        public static let italic: String = "Roboto-LightItalic"
        public static let normal: String = "Roboto-Light"
        public static let thin: String = "Roboto-Thin"
    }
}

Roboto-LightItalic and Roboto-Light are the TTF's font file names. Then, you can simply call

someUILabel.setFont(style: UILabel.FontStyle.normal, size: 20)
