(This is not possible using the new iOS 5.0 Appearance API).

Edit:

iOS >= 5.0 :

Set the Title Text Attributes for the Navigationbar:

// Customize the title text for *all* UINavigationBars
NSDictionary *settings = @{
    UITextAttributeFont                 :  [UIFont fontWithName:@"YOURFONTNAME" size:20.0],
    UITextAttributeTextColor            :  [UIColor whiteColor],
    UITextAttributeTextShadowColor      :  [UIColor clearColor],
    UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset     :  [NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetZero]};

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:settings];

iOS < 5.0

UINavigationItem doesn't have a property called label or something, only a titleView. You are only able to set the font by setting a custom label as this title view You could use the following code: (as suggested here)

UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 44)];
label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"YOURFONTNAME" size:20.0];
label.shadowColor = [UIColor clearColor];
label.textColor =[UIColor whiteColor];
label.text = self.title;  
self.navigationItem.titleView = label;      
[label release];
