The font for the text label is now:

UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .body)

This question was answered here by Vladimir.

Here's what he said:

You can always set any font to those labels in code so if you want some guaranteed fixed values you'd better do that as size values may vary depending on many factors (cell's style, sdk version, os version etc).

I've tested on simulator with 4.2 SDK version and got following results (no extra properties were set for cells):

  1. UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle:

    textLabel: Helvetica Bold, size: labelFontSize+1 (18 px)

    detailsLabel: Helvetica, size: systemFontSize (14 px)

  2. UITableViewCellStyleValue1:

    textLabel: Helvetica Bold, size: labelFontSize (17 px)

    detailsLabel: Helvetica Bold, size: systemFontSize+1 (15 px)

  3. UITableViewCellStyleValue2:

    textLabel: Helvetica Bold, size: smallSystemFontSize (12 px)

    detailsLabel: Helvetica, size: labelFontSize (17 px)

Default UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle font size?

[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:17.0];

Which was discovered by changing the font of a UITableViewCell's textLabel until it matched the default.

If you look in the documentation for UIFont there are methods for retrieving system font sizes. I'd say they'll have you're answer.

http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UIFont_Class/Reference/Reference.html

+ labelFontSize is probably the one you're after.
