Instead of:

dialog_text.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD);

use:

Typeface century_gothic_bold = Typeface.create(century_gothic, Typeface.BOLD);  
dialog_text.setTypeface(century_gothic_bold);

use getTypeface() method like this:

dataTitle = (TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.dataTitle);
font = Typeface.createFromAsset(itemView.getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/ArchitectsDaughter.ttf");
dataTitle.setTypeface(font);
dataTitle.setTypeface(dataTitle.getTypeface(),Typeface.BOLD);
