Hi Chris,
The iOS 8 Font is Helvetica Neue. It’s bundled by default with every version of
OS X so you don’t need to download or add any fonts to use the look.
There are actually a few variations of Helvetica Neue that are used by Apple on
our iPhones, iPads, and iPods, including:
• Helvetica Neue – UltraLight
• Helvetica Neue – Light
• Helvetica Neue – Thin
• Helvetica Neue – Regular
• Helvetica Neue – Medium
Cheers,
Ronni
