This shape of the Cyrillic "k" is a relatively recent invention of the Bulgarian font makers. As far as I know it is never used outside of Bulgaria. Even in Bulgaria almost all books and newspapers use the traditional Cyrillic "k". The "modern" (so to say) "k" is used mostly in the magazines, IT newspapers and IT books, various broshures, adverticements, etc. The conclusion is: the new "k" looks ugly to most Cyrillic-users outside of Bulgaria and the traditional "k" is perfectly normal for the Cyrillic users in Bulgaria.
