Description
Kogaion SC FR font by Florin Florea is a free font featuring a foreign style with unique decorative elements. The font combines traditional influences with modern aesthetic features which makes it have a distinct and bold presence. It also has a slightly formal look obtained through the equal height of the letters which all rise to the same level. There is no clear definition of whether the font is best utilized as a display in larger sizes, or for text in smaller sizes. So ultimately, the designer’s choice will determine this factor.
Consider using Kogaion SC FR for foreign language publications or signs of any of the languages supported by the font. Historical school projects and lessons can benefit from its visual aid for making them feel more realistic and engaging. It is an obvious choice for traditional products that relate to the culture for which this font is made. Give it a try for body text as well as heading texts within websites and publications.
Kogaion SC FR is free for personal use only, so if you plan on using it commercially or even on large-scale projects, we recommend contacting the author to make the proper arrangements.

Author's note
This is an old Romanian-style typeface called "Arhaic Romanesc," based on the Cyrillic alphabet that was used in Romania around 1500 until 1860 for Church Slavonic and Romanian texts. The old letter shapes were later used for the Latin alphabet, preserving a sort of Romanian traditional feel.
I started this font (Kogaion) in 2009 (http://florinf.wordpress.com/2009/04/14/kogaion-arhaic-romanesc-ex-cali). It is still a Work in Progress. It is a revival based on an old book cover (around 1930) and had only 10 letters as it was used in the title, so I had to create 16 in the same style. I also added numbers and Romanian diacritics.
This font is for personal usage only.
