contents The $f(T)$ gravity is one of the extensions of teleparallel equivalent of general relativity, in which more general functions of the torsion scalar $T$ can be described. With the proposed functional form of $f(T) = αT - βu^{-n} + γu^m$, where $u = (-T/6)$, we have analyzed the cosmological parameters using dynamical system analysis and cosmological datasets. The dynamical behavior of this model is analyzed with phase-space analysis by transforming the cosmological equations into an autonomous system. Critical points are identified, and their stability conditions examined, enabling the classifications of the early and late-time evolutionary phases of the Universe. The stability conditions are further demonstrated by phase-portrait diagrams that highlight transitions between radiation, matter, and dark-energy-dominated epochs. Then we used the Markov Chain Monte Carlo statistical technique to constrain the model parameters with the recent observational dataset, such as DESI DR2 BAO, and its combination with the Hubble and Pantheon+SH0ES data. The best-fit values for the model parameters were obtained by data analysis, $m \equiv 0.91^{+0.07}_{-0.09}$ and $n \equiv 0.69^{+0.09}_{-0.08}$, and are well within the stability range obtained ($m<1\land n>-1$) through dynamical system analysis. The combined theoretical and observational analysis shows that the proposed $f(T)$ gravity model successfully reproduces the observed cosmic expansion history of the Universe.
