i would recommend you to create action bar by urself instead of using the default one or customizing it! just use no actionbar theme and then make one by urself :) @Anthony Kim — Fay007, Dec 06 '16 at 08:52

Change you Theme.AppCompat.Light to Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar and tried code as below

<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>

<style name="AppTheme.MyActionBar"parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar.Solid">
    <item name="titleTextStyle">@style/MyTitleTextStyle</item>
</style>

<style name="MyTheme.MyActionBar.TitleTextStyle" parent="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/colorWhite</item>
    <item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
</style>

You could use a toolbar. When you have a reference to the toolbar and you want to style the title, you could do something like this

TextView textView = (TextView)toolbar.getChildAt(0);
//set the font and font color.

If you have more children in the toolbar, you may want to loop through and find the child you want to style
