Well, to some extent you can do this through the \font command, but 
we're at the mercy of what the font developer chooses to make available 
through AAT features and how they're organized.

Try this:
- - - - - cut here - - - - -
\nopagenumbers
\parindent=0pt

\font\A="Apple Chancery" at 12pt
\A The quick brown fox jumps over all the lazy dog's baggage.

\font\B="Apple Chancery:Design Complexity=Simple Design Level" at 12pt
\B The quick brown fox jumps over all the lazy dog's baggage.

\font\C="Apple Chancery:Design Complexity=Flourishes Set A" at 12pt
\C The quick brown fox jumps over all the lazy dog's baggage.

\font\D="Apple Chancery:Design Complexity=Flourishes Set B" at 12pt
\D The quick brown fox jumps over all the lazy dog's baggage.

\bigskip

\font\a="Zapfino" at 12pt
\a The quick brown fox jumps over all the lazy dog's baggage.

\font\b="Zapfino:Stylistic Variants=First variant glyph set" at 12pt
\b The quick brown fox jumps over all the lazy dog's baggage.

\font\c="Zapfino:Stylistic Variants=Second variant glyph set" at 12pt
\c The quick brown fox jumps over all the lazy dog's baggage.

\font\d="Zapfino:Stylistic Variants=Third variant glyph set" at 12pt
\d The quick brown fox jumps over all the lazy dog's baggage.

\bye
