This was a bit of a revelation to beginning-designer-Erik, as I always expected that titles would be bigger than normal text not simply bolder. Lists are the bread and butter of phone apps. You never knew how many things were actually lists until you started displaying them on a tall, thin screen. Notice a trend here? On the settings page, the options themselves are written out in the default text style, even though the section titles e.
This balance of emphasizing and deemphasizing styles is crucial. This should be starting to feel pretty straightforward now. My hunch is that, since Apple knew some of these buttons would have many options, they just defaulted to a smaller text size for the control, even if there are only two options. Search uses the default size and weight, though the color is a bit lighter before you start typing in.
These font sizes follow a clear pattern, and they illustrate some nice text-styling tricks, but there are some odd inconsistencies for sure. This is the smallest text I could find in the whole UI — 10pt. I would stay away from such a small size as much as possible.
As of last update Aug , iPads generally have lower pixel densities than iPhones though this has been true for years. Because we hold iPads slightly farther away from our eyes than iPhones, this balances out nicely — you can keep most of the same font sizes on iPad and iPhone. So start any iPad typography work by reading the iPhone section above.

Email Required, but never shown. Conversely, if you need to display two lines of text in an area where height is constrained — for example, in a list row — decreasing the space between lines tight leading can help the text fit well. If you need to display three or more lines of text, avoid tight leading even in areas where height is limited. Make sure custom fonts are legible. Custom typefaces are supported on iOS, but may be tough to read, especially if they have stylistic attributes that make letterforms hard to discern when displayed at small sizes.
Implement accessibility features for custom fonts. System fonts automatically react to accessibility features like bold text and larger type. Implement the same behavior in apps that use custom fonts by making sure accessibility features are enabled and registering for notifications when they change. For guidance, see Text Size and Weight. Adjust tracking as needed in interface mockups. In a running app, the system fonts dynamically adjust tracking at every point size.
To produce an accurate interface mockup of a UI that uses the variable system fonts, you might need to adjust the tracking. Dynamic Type provides additional flexibility by letting readers choose their preferred text size. Here are the weight, size, and leading values for each text style at different Dynamic Type sizes.
Point size based on image resolution of ppi for 2x and ppi for 3x designs. In addition to the standard dynamic type sizes, the system offers a number of even larger sizes for users with accessibility needs. Here are the weight, size, and leading values for each text style at the larger accessibility type sizes.
