There are a few other leaks from this initialize method: the bundle, url and array

Moving the bundle and array above the dispatch_once call eliminates the leaks:

+ (void) initialize {
    [super initialize];
    static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
    NSArray *fontNames = @[@"Lato-Regular", @"Lato-Bold", @"Lato-Italic", @"Lato-Light"];
    NSBundle *mainBundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
    dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
      for (NSString *fontName in fontNames) {
        NSURL * url = [mainBundle URLForResource:fontName withExtension:@"ttf"];
        if (url) {
          CFErrorRef error;
          CTFontManagerRegisterFontsForURL((__bridge CFURLRef)url, kCTFontManagerScopeNone, &error);
          CFRelease(error);
        }
      }
  });
}

However, I thought initialize was only ever called once, but it's called twice (in my code at least), so a guard is needed (?):

+ (void) initialize {
    [super initialize];
    if (self == [UIFont self]) {
      static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
      NSArray *fontNames = @[@"Lato-Regular", @"Lato-Bold", @"Lato-Italic", @"Lato-Light"];
      NSBundle *mainBundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
      dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
        for (NSString *fontName in fontNames) {
          NSURL * url = [mainBundle URLForResource:fontName withExtension:@"ttf"];
          if (url) {
            CFErrorRef error;
            CTFontManagerRegisterFontsForURL((__bridge CFURLRef)url, kCTFontManagerScopeNone, &error);
            CFRelease(error);
          }
        }
    });
  }
}

I'm not sure about the guard part, maybe initialize is required to be called twice.

Anyway, the first code eliminates the leaks, small as they are (around 1.4kb in my code)
