Back in 1998?9? I modified a Postscript font to introduce some random jiggling[0] to make it look organic. Worked pretty well. Would occasionally go nuts and you'd get carnage but definitely workable for doing, e.g., sheets of address labels for competition entries which would often reject / frown upon "computer-aided entries".
But I think TTF and OTF engines ignore randomness these days and all you're left with is the rotate/swap methods mentioned here[1]
[0] I was just copying the idea off something else I'd seen recently; probably the Beowulf PS font where "each point in each letter in every word on the page would move randomly, giving the letters a shaken, distraught appearance"
