Solution 1 - Android

Use app:titleTextAppearance:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="?actionBarSize"
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    app:titleTextAppearance="@style/Toolbar.TitleText" />

and override the default title size in a custom style:

<style name="Toolbar.TitleText" parent="TextAppearance.Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar.Title">
    <item name="android:textSize">18sp</item>
</style>

Result:

You can add a TextView to your toolbar and customize as you want:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
	android:id="@+id/toolbar"
	android:layout_height="wrap_content"
	android:layout_width="match_parent">
	<TextView
		android:id="@+id/toolbar_title"
		android:layout_width="wrap_content"
		android:layout_height="wrap_content"
		android:text="@string/app_name"
		android:textSize="25sp"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

[Optional steps 1 & 2)

  1. Place your font file in "Project/app/src/main/assets/fonts/" folder.

Then create a Typeface object from the font file as:

Typeface typeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/font_name.ttf");
  1. Now, get the child item (toolbar title textview) from the existing toolbar, the default toolbar and pass the typeface object we created above.
((TextView) toolbar.getChildAt(0)).setTypeface(typeFace); // set custom typeface - font
  1. Finally, change the text size of toolbar's title text view
((TextView) toolbar.getChildAt(0)).setTextSize(30); // set title font size

Solution 5 - Android

Try this in onCreate:

android.support.v7.app.ActionBar actionbar = getSupportActionBar();
TextView textview = new TextView(MainActivity.this);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutparams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

textview.setLayoutParams(layoutparams);
textview.setText(getString(R.string.your_string));
textview.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
textview.setTextSize(18);

actionbar.setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM);
actionbar.setCustomView(textview);
