Try changing this: titleLabel.text =[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Flight Summary "]; Or remove 8pts from width as titleLabel setFrame: CGRectMake(x: 0, y: 50, width: self.view.frame.size.width-8, height: 30) — Bharat Modi, Mar 14 '16 at 12:03

To reduce the complexity of subclassing, you can take UIView and UIlabel, set frame of UIView to screen width and take UILabel frame as screenwidth - 8 (or whatever pixels is appropriate for you). Manage the frames and add both to mainview, this way you will be able to achieve the look.

Try this

titleLabel.text = @"abcd exadgdf    \u{200c}""

You can also do one more thing. You can use attributed string and set attributed text to titlelabel without formatting string like this

NSAttributedString *attrString = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"ABCD      "];

titleLabel.attributedText = attrString;
