<syncfusion:SfDataGrid x:Name="sfGrid" 
                        GridLinesVisibility="Both"
                        HeaderGridLinesVisibility="Both"
                        ColumnWidthMode="Auto"
                        AutoGenerateColumnsMode="None"
                        ItemsSource="{Binding Employees}">

    <syncfusion:SfDataGrid.Columns>
        <syncfusion:DataGridTextColumn MappingName="Name"
                                        HeaderText="Employee Name" />
        <syncfusion:DataGridTextColumn MappingName="Title"
                                        HeaderText="Designation" />
        <syncfusion:DataGridTextColumn MappingName="LoginID"
                                        HeaderText="Login ID" />
        <syncfusion:DataGridTextColumn MappingName="Gender"
                                        HeaderText="Gender" />

    </syncfusion:SfDataGrid.Columns>

</syncfusion:SfDataGrid>

Xaml.cs
The code below demonstrates how to set the FontAttributes and TextColor for all rows using a custom renderer in SfDataGrid.

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        sfGrid.CellRenderers.Remove("Text");
        sfGrid.CellRenderers.Add("Text", new CustomTextCellRenderer());
    }
}
public class CustomTextCellRenderer : DataGridTextBoxCellRenderer
{
    protected override void OnSetCellStyle(DataColumnBase dataColumn)
    {
        base.OnSetCellStyle(dataColumn);

        if (dataColumn != null)
        {
            DataGridCell gridCell = dataColumn.ColumnElement;

            if (gridCell != null)
            {
                var label = gridCell.Children[0] as Label;
                if (label != null)
                {
                    label.TextColor = Colors.Orange;
                    label.FontAttributes = FontAttributes.Bold;
                }

                gridCell = null;
            }
        }
    }
}
