Great alternative to the default UITextfield font that looks GOOD

In the interface builder, I created a UITextfield in a subclass of UITableViewCell.

The default font is too small. If I do it more in the interface builder, it looks a little ugly. Not so drastic. I would like the font to be similar to the one used in the address book application when you edit a contact. The text is larger than the default and looks good.

Anyone got a nice font / style / size? And should I set this to IB correctly?

The UITextfield class specifies: @property (non-atomic, persistent) UIFont * font; // default is nil. use 12 pt system font

Does this mean they want you to use size 12?

Thank! Edit: The larger font looks crisp when selected for editing, but looks slightly distorted when not edited. In the image below, EC1V is the first responder (and therefore good quality), while the address below is not the first responder and is bad quality. (cached image?)

Good. I think I figured it out. Basically, some font sizes like (Helevetica 13.14) just don't display pretty. I am using helvetica 15 which looks crispy. there is just a little trial and error involved in getting the display correct.
