Answer 1

The Typeface class specifies a font and a custom font style.

You should call android:typeface instead of typeface .

Not

 <item name="typeface">robotoRegular</item> 

Do

 <item name="android:typeface">robotoRegular</item> 

Answer 2

you should use android:typeface , not typeface .

Answer 3

using

 <item name="android:typeface">YOUR FONT</item>
