You will need to use the name of the bold font within the family. To find out if there is a bold version of American Typewriter, try outputting 

[UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:@"AmericanTypewriter"]

to the console.

In this case, you should use "AmericanTypewriter-Bold".

[UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:@"AmericanTypewriter-Bold"]
