Solution 1 - Ios
Add a property to your view controller's .h file:
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *label;
Link the label to this IBOutlet under "File's Owner" outlets in Interface Builder. If not using ARC, make sure you release it in -dealloc
- (void)dealloc
{
[self.label release];
[super dealloc];
}
Then to get the font name and size all you need is
NSString *fontName = self.label.font.fontName;
CGFloat fontSize = self.label.font.pointSize;

Swift:
var currentFontSize = button.titleLabel?.font.pointSize
Solution 3 - Ios
Pointsize value is not the Font Size of used in UIFont size property. Say if you go set interface builder font size to 14 and do a print of the pointSize you'll get only 11.

you have to attach it to a UILabel IBOutlet, and then, label.font...
