You will need to inspect the font name.

myLabel.font.fontName

Try this one:

NSAttributedString *string=yourLabel.attributedText;
if ([[textFieldFontName rangeOfString:string] length] > 0){
    NSLog(@"Bold");
}
if ([[textFieldFontName rangeOfString:string] length] > 0){
    NSLog(@"Italic");
}

*Note if your string contains both then, this may not work

Select your label in the interface builder (xib or storyboard) and go to the Attributes Inspector. There click on the "T" by font and then set font to Custom. Now you can change the font, size etc.

UILabel *myLabel;   
myLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"fontName" size:16.0];//set font according your choice
myLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:16.0];//bold font
myLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:16.0];//system font
