I’m trying to replicate an iphone style navbar in my mac app. But I just can’t figure out what font (name and size) that the title in the navbar should be. Does anybody know what it is or have a way to figure it out? Thanks in advance.

Update: Here’s a picture. I’m referring to the “Navigation bar” pointed out on top.

    Oh, I just figured it out! Helvetica Neue, as Ben pointed out, and then I used size 20. But then, to complete the look, you need to give it an embossed look. I did this by using this code:

    [[myTextField cell] setBackgroundStyle:NSBackgroundStyleLowered];

    I found that here: http://whomwah.com/2009/03/11/replicating-apples-embossed-text-in-a-cocoa-app/

    Now it looks right.
