It is a bit of a hack, but it works.

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    ...
    int titleId = getResources().getIdentifier("action_bar_title", "id", "android");
    TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(titleId);
    Typeface typeface = Typeface.create("sans-serif-light", Typeface.ITALIC); // add your typeface
    textView.setTypeface(typeface);
    ...
}
