Fugitive is a sifter that, unlike cards such as Cellar and Warehouse, does not decrease your handsize, since it draws more cards than it discards. It does still only draw you two cards, but at least you get to play with a more streamlined five-card hand afterwards. Sifting in general is very nice with Travellers; you want to get to the stronger cards, Disciple and Teacher, as quickly as possible, and Fugitive certainly helps you with this. Other than that, it's not the most exciting card in the Dominion universe.
