It could be done though: you'd have rearrange a "handwritten" font to
follow feta's layout, and make an AFM file with the correct glyph

No, it's not that simple.
You would have to add some sort of random offset to the grobs (especially the 
stems need to be typeset in a totally different matter); You would need to code 
new beams and slurs. You would need to recode the spacing engine.

I think that getting a good result would take a major effort - and it would be 
of limited use; really - if you want handwritten style, then why not write in 
hand?
