Answer 1

here See my outputThis is just for get system font name

for (NSString *familyName in [UIFont familyNames]) {
     for (NSString *fontName in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:familyName]) {
         NSLog(@"%@", fontName);

And add a this code in your viewDidLoad

_textFieldEmail.attributedPlaceholder =
[[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"e-mail address"
                                attributes:@{
                                             NSFontAttributeName : [UIFont fontWithName:@"Roboto-LightItalic" size:17.0]
                                             }
 ];

_textFieldPassword.attributedPlaceholder =
[[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"password"
                                attributes:@{
                                             NSFontAttributeName : [UIFont fontWithName:@"Roboto-LightItalic" size:17.0]
                                             }
 ];
