try this code...

UIFont *yourFont = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica-BoldOblique" 
                                   size:[UIFont systemFontSize]];
lblTitle.font = yourFont;

you can use also another fontName for BoldItalik like.

Optima-BoldItalic,TimesNewRomanPS-BoldItalicMT,Baskerville-BoldItalic,HelveticaNeue-BoldItalic,etc...
