How to enlarge UILabel width (letter spacing) in Objective-C?

Question

This is the code I am using for the UILabel title of my View Controller:

UIFont *bebasFont = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Bebas" size:100]; RestaurantsTitle.font = bebasFont; RestaurantsTitle.text = @"RESTAURANTS";

and I need to enlarge the space between the letters of the title but I don't know how to do it.

Setting a width to the text field and not the frame would also work if that is also possible?

Use NSAttributedString and increase the kerning of the string.
