Or, without going into editing, you can do it directly. However, alas, I don't know a way of specifying the font just once. I suppose with copy and paste, it's not that time-consuming, but it does look ugly as code:
sysuse auto
scatter mpg weight, xlabel(2000 `"{fontface "American Typewriter": 2,000}"' ///
3000 `"{fontface "American Typewriter": 3,000}"' ///
4000 `"{fontface "American Typewriter": 4,000}"' ///
5000 `"{fontface "American Typewriter": 5,000}"',labsize(medlarge))
Note that since the font name is in quotes, the entire text has to be in compound double quotes: `" and "'
