But font is nill. How to do that correctly?

Answer 1

Well you can view the list of fonts supported by iOS here . The font Helvetica Regular does not feature in this list. If you want to go for this font name specifically then you would have to add this as a custom font. Or you could simply use the Helvetica font name. To go for the custom fonts you could browse through these links :-
