How to implement UIKit: SF Pro Rounded?

Help pls, I searched around and can't find the solution to implement this; Rounded, The rounded variant of the default typeface.

Here's the sample code

//: A UIKit based Playground for presenting user interface

import UIKit
import PlaygroundSupport

class MyViewController : UIViewController {
    override func loadView() {
        let view = UIView()
        view.backgroundColor = .white

        let label = UILabel()
        label.frame = CGRect(x: 150, y: 200, width: 200, height: 32)
        label.text = "Hello World!"
        label.textColor = .black
        label.font = .systemFont(ofSize: 32, weight: .semibold)
        label.font.fontDescriptor.withDesign(.rounded) // I'm guessing this is wrong

        view.addSubview(label)
        self.view = view
    }
}
// Present the view controller in the Live View window
PlaygroundPage.current.liveView = MyViewController()

Thanks

If you know you'll only be using this for the system font, you can simplify it into the following:

public extension UIFont {
    
    var rounded: UIFont {
        guard let desc = self.fontDescriptor.withDesign(.rounded)
        else { return self }
        return UIFont(descriptor: desc, size: self.pointSize)
    }
    
}

and then call it like:

let sysFont: UIFont = .systemFont(ofSize: UIFont.systemFontSize)
label.font = sysFont.rounded

Calling it on any other font will just return the same font.

Well with the code from original answer (How to use SF Rounded font in SwiftUI?), you can use it in your code like this:

    override func loadView() {
    let view = UIView()
    view.backgroundColor = .white

    let label = UILabel()
    label.frame = CGRect(x: 150, y: 200, width: 200, height: 32)
    label.text = "Hello World!"
    label.textColor = .black

    // set rounded font
    let fontSize: CGFloat = 32
    let systemFont = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: fontSize, weight: .semibold)
    let roundedFont: UIFont
    if let descriptor = systemFont.fontDescriptor.withDesign(.rounded) {
        roundedFont = UIFont(descriptor: descriptor, size: fontSize)
    } else {
        roundedFont = systemFont
    }

    label.font = roundedFont

    view.addSubview(label)
    self.view = view
}

But when you want to use it on multiple places, it would be better if you could reuse it... so for example I create class called FontKit ... which has static function, which gives me rounded font. Like this:

class FontKit {

 static func roundedFont(ofSize fontSize: CGFloat, weight: UIFont.Weight) -> UIFont {
    let systemFont = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: fontSize, weight: weight)
    let font: UIFont

    if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
        if let descriptor = systemFont.fontDescriptor.withDesign(.rounded) {
            font = UIFont(descriptor: descriptor, size: fontSize)
        } else {
            font = systemFont
        }
    } else {
        font = systemFont
    }

    return font
}
}

And then in my code I use it like this:

label.font = FontKit.roundedFont(ofSize: 32, weight: .semibold)
