An inversive invariant of two oriented circles is introduced. Being close to Coxeter's inversive distance between two non-intersecting circles, it is defined for any pair of oriented circles (straight lines). To demonstrate its effectiveness, two topics are discussed the problem of $C^1$-conjunction of circles and the properties of plane curves with monotonous curvature.
