Build a "Draggable Speed Marquee" React component.

CONCEPT: A full-width ticker of studio values separated by small asterisks. It runs forever, eases down when hovered, and responds to horizontal drags by adding velocity.

LAYOUT & CONTENT:
- Two stacked rows moving in opposite directions: row 1 charcoal on paper, row 2 cream on terracotta.
- Items: 'Hand-set type', 'Real springs', 'No stock gradients', 'Made in small batches'.

INTERACTIONS & MOTION:
- Drive x with a motion value updated every frame (requestAnimationFrame) by baseSpeed * direction; wrap at -50% for seamless looping (duplicate content).
- On hover, lerp speed toward 0.15x; on leave back to 1x.
- Pointer drag adds the drag delta to x and temporarily sets direction from drag velocity.

DESIGN SYSTEM (non-negotiable):
- Palette: paper background #FAF9F6, deep charcoal #121212 for text and 1px borders, ONE warm accent: cobalt #1D4ED8 or terracotta #D9534F. Secondary surface #F2EFE8.
- Typography: Swiss / editorial. A tight grotesk for UI (Instrument Sans, Inter Tight or similar) with negative tracking on display sizes; an italic serif (Instrument Serif) used sparingly for one emphasized word.
- NO dark-mode neon, NO glow, NO glassmorphism, NO backdrop blur, NO purple-to-blue gradients, NO emoji icons. Solid fills, hairline rules, honest shadows (hard offset or none).
- Motion: Framer Motion with spring physics (type: "spring", stiffness 300-500, damping 20-35). Animate transform and opacity only. Respect prefers-reduced-motion via useReducedMotion().
- Icons: lucide-react, 1.5px stroke.
- Accessibility: real <button>/<a>/<label> elements, visible focus ring (2px cobalt, 3px offset), keyboard operable, aria attributes where state changes.

OUTPUT: one self-contained React component file (Tailwind CSS v4 utility classes, framer-motion, lucide-react), no external images, default export, ready to paste into a Next.js App Router page with "use client".
