Answer 1

Probably you can get the UIAppearance for UILabel inside UINavigationBar.

Answer 2

I ended up solving this by creating a custom UIView:

+(NavigationBarTitleLabel *)titleLabelWithTitle:(NSString *)title {
  // this will appear as the title in the navigation bar
  NavigationBarTitleLabel *labelWrapper = [[NavigationBarTitleLabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 34)];
  UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 8, 200, 32)];

  label.font            = [UIFont fontWithName:@"MarketingScript" size:28.0];
  label.text            = title;
  label.textColor       = XHEXCOLOR(0XFFFFFF);
  label.textAlignment   = UITextAlignmentCenter;
  label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
  label.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
  label.layer.shadowRadius = 2;
  [labelWrapper addSubview:label];
  [labelWrapper sizeToFit];

  return labelWrapper;
}

and then setting the titleView property on the navigationItem:

self.navigationItem.titleView = [NavigationBarTitleLabel titleLabelWithTitle:self.title];
